Hi,

I have a working version of kopete (0.7.3) running on my SuSE 9.0 computer, with KDE 3.1.4

But I want to update to the new version of kopete because I like all the add-ons, especially the msn pic. (btw great work kopete developers congrats )

The first time I ran the configure script it coudn't find the X libraries nor headers.

So for the second time I ran it and pointed out where those are located

[code:1]./configure --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include[/code:1]

But then I get an error that the libXext is missing... I looked at the libs directory and it was right there.... any clue as to what can I do???!

Oh below is a short part of the config log if it helps in anything, thanks for any help I can get

---------------------------------

configure:27087: checking for libXext

x_includes='/usr/X11R6/include'
x_libraries='/usr/X11R6/lib'

No as I matter of fact I just checked and I don't...

I'll go look if that helps

Ok I installed Xfree-devel but now I'm getting this error when running configure


-----------------------------------------------
checking for libz... configure: error: not found.
Possibly configure picks up an outdated version
installed by XFree86. Remove it from your system.

Check your installation and look into config.log

Btw I have xfree 4.3.0 which is as far as I know, the lastest release
