Kopete 0.8 source code compile error on Fedora Core 1

When I try and compile Kopete 0.8 (i'm hoping it actually has file transfer capabilities unlike Kopete 0.7) I get an error when compiling Libkopete:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpcreposix
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [libkopete.la] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/root/Documents/kopete-0.8beta1/kopete/libkopete'
make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/Documents/kopete-0.8beta1/kopete/libkopete'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/Documents/kopete-0.8beta1/kopete'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/Documents/kopete-0.8beta1'
make: *** [all] Error 2


Could anyone give me a hand with this? I really need a MSN client that allows me to transfer files AND is integrated into KDE's tray.

Thanks everyone,
Euphorix

pcreposix - POSIX API for Perl-compatible regular expressions.

try searching searching through your package installation for "pcreposix" in the files or description, then, install the package!

Thats the problem. Its already installed! Fedora Core comes with that package.

See why i'm confused? ;)

Im not really sure what the problem is, since I had no problems compiling kopete on fedora core 1. It could be that its looking in the wrond directory. In fedora core 1, you have to pass the proper prefix to the configure script since kde is in a different directory than usual.

Try this:

make distclean
./configure --prefix=/usr (this is the prefix for kde in fedora core 1)
make
make install
Simplicity is the staple of the working man.

I had this same issue going on and I'm running Suse 8.2. There's several bugs in the code that get picked up with different compilers. Go onto www.kde.org and head to the Delopement Source Code section or whatever it's called. I used CVSup, but use whatever technique you prefer to download the kdenetwork package. Kopete is in that package, and you can build it individually without any problems. The version in there is more up to date than the one on the website, so building that one shouldn't pose any problems.
