Does make complete successfully?

If not, what are the error messages that appear near the end of the make output?

same problem... also running mandrake 9.2 as nix OS...

output of the make:

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/mak2k/download/tar balls/tmp/kopete-0.8.0/po'
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/mak2k/download/tar balls/tmp/kopete-0.8.0'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/mak2k/download/tar balls/tmp/kopete-0.8.0'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mak2k/download/tar balls/tmp/kopete-0.8.0'

and before that it will go through all the subdirectory in po

Thats the standard exit message, if there were no other warnings then make completed successfully, now you must give yourself root access and make install

ok.. maybe it's the standard exit for make but i don' thtink it's normal that it says "nothing to do", in ALL the subdirectory of PO. And i did a make install from root and it starts as:

make[4]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.
/bin/sh ../../admin/mkinstalldirs /usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES
/usr//bin/install -c -p -m 644 kopete.gmo /usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/kopete.mo
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/mak2k/download/tar balls/tmp/kopete-0.8.0/po/tr'
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/mak2k/download/tar balls/tmp/kopete-0.8.0/po/tr'
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/mak2k/download/tar balls/tmp/kopete-0.8.0/po/tr'
Making install in xh

And it does that for all the subdirectory. And usually after the make install, i'M suppose to have the executable.. but in this case, ic an'T find it! There is really something fishy about this.. make and make install shouldn'T take less than 5 seconds each

You're sure there were no errors during configure? Not all errors will stop configure, some it will print a warning and pass over it.
