Compiltation Help!!!!!

Being a relative newbie to Linux, I need some help, but I think this has probably happened to someone else, but I'm just to lazy to look through all the other posts to find out.

Upon trying to compile 'kdegames' (downloaded from CVS) I found that I had to also download qt and arts and kdelibs (no doubt thanks to a dubious redhat installation), after numerous compilations to get things right I have hit a brick wall. I have installed the libraries from a different location due to disk limitations, but have linked it back through to '/usr/local/' and other locations so that it all compiles right.

My problem is thus:

Quoted


checking for KDE... libraries /usr/lib, headers /usr/local/kde/include
checking if UIC has KDE plugins available... no
configure: error: you need to install kdelibs first.


And thus I have done - alot of times.

Please someone help me before I go insane(:twisted:) and download the libraries again(Which on dialup is not a pretty sight)

Sys Details :

PIII 600
128 ram
40 gig drv
running Redhat 9.0 Shrike.

I've come across that error msg in the past, and I've narrowed it down to a library mismatch between kde and qt........................If you're going to install a CVS package, then you should also install a separate kde installation for the CVS.................It probably doesn't work trying to mix and match different versions of kde..........

Here's instructions for installing a separate kde to coexist with your current one: Building two versions
