Hi,
I have been trying to compile Kopete 0.8.4 on Mdrake 10-64.
I had a few problems with configure but I managed to get around them (it couldn't find qt-mt library and then it couldn't find kde library's) by putting the following.

./configure --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt3/lib64/ --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` --libdir=/usr/lib64

... however it does still come up with the following error ... it continues so I figure its not too important, but maybe someone could tell me otherwise.

configure: WARNING: linux/if_ppp.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: linux/if_ppp.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: linux/if_ppp.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: linux/if_ppp.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: linux/if_ppp.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING: linux/if_ppp.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence
configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------------ ##
configure: WARNING: ## Report this to the AC_PACKAGE_NAME lists. ##
configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------------ ##

Then not long into MAKE it trying to get hold of a file that doesn't exist.

d -lm -L/usr/lib64 -lxslt -lxml2 -lz -lpthread -lm

I located the file and it is in
/usr/lib64/
as well as
/usr/lib64/tls/

How would I best get round this? Would I be ok to just copy the file across or what?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam

good idea ... that didn't occur to me
Still new to this linux thing :-)
I'll try that now

what would I type in to make the link, cos when I tried it, during compiling it complained the file appears to be moved.

It seemed to compile anyway ... no problems so far ... just curious about your recommendation ... just incase the messenger does end up screwing up

ok, cheers thats what i put anyway :-)
