<DIV><FONT size=2>I had the same problems with the kdevelop rpm's and with
the help of Troy Engel (who created the RH RPM's) eventually got things working.
I then wrote the attached brute force script that quickly sets everything up
correctly. The procedure I now use is as follows:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>1) If you have already tried installing kdevelop (as you have)
first find the hidden .kde directory in your home and </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>look for and delete the kdeveloprc file that contains
incorrect setup info </FONT><FONT size=2>and delete it so that when
you re-start kdevelop </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>will take you through the setup process it does at
startup.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>2) Create a kdevelop directory under /root and copy all
installation files there including the following:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT
size=2>glimpse-4.1-bin-linux-2.0.30-i486.tar.gz<BR>kdbg-1.0beta1-1.i386.rpm<BR>kdelibs-1.1.1.tar.gz<BR>sgmltools-2.0.2.base.tar<BR>kdevelop-1.0beta1-1.redhat.i386.rpm<BR>kdevelop-c_c++_ref-0.1-1.i386.rpm<BR>manual.ps<BR>tutorial.ps<BR>bzip2<BR>bzip.html<BR>kdesdk-19990811.tar<BR>kdoc-1.17-1.i386.rpm<BR>setup</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>3) Start a terminal window (if you are in X), change to
the /root/kdevelop directory and run setup from the bash prompt
using:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>./setup</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>This should set things up correctly. If the script breaks on
your system, the commands should give you enough of an </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>idea on how to complete the setup process by hand. I had one
system that I had to do this for to complete the C++ documentation at the end.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>4) Start kdevelop and point at the /root/kdevelop/kdelibs
directory when prompted for the location of the library files and
/root/.kde/...etc for the documentation files.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I gather that the problem on RH systems is that the kde
variable points to the /usr directory but Troy's rpms default to installing it
into /opt/kde.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I'd like to acknowledge that I believe what you are
doing is of tremendous strategic importance to the future of Linux as a viable
mainstream computing platform since it promises to put commercial class
integrated development tools into the hands of a lot of gifted
</FONT><FONT size=2>developers. I see whole teams of these developers soon using
kdevelop on the next generation of Linux applications. </FONT><FONT

<DIV><BR></DIV>I've got redhat 6. <BR>I've tried installing KDevelop 1.01beta,
but I'm still having the following problems: <BR>no icons appear on the
speedbar on either the dialog editor or kdevelop itself.
<BR>QT documentation can't be found.
<P>I've read the redhat linux 6 installation link that is on the kdevelop home
page, but this does not address my problems.
<P>I have the kdelibs which are located in:
<BR>/opt/kde/lib/kdelibs-1.1.1
<P>also, I have QT which is located in /usr/lib/qt
<P>All the QT html help files are in one directory: <BR>/usr/lib/qt/html
<P>where should these be? Also, I get the impression that the
QT html files should NOT be lumped in to one directory, but separated out
into subdirectories. Where can I find the documentation that is
organised in to separate directories?
<P>thanks alot. <PRE>--

The last time I cried, I could see the people
Long ago in the rain
Waiting as the soldiers put them all on a train
And the hands on the bars, the eyes full of tears
And the word is the same, for a thousand years,
Eli Eli Lama, Oh Lord, you have forsaken me...
