Hi Alexey,<br>I downloaded all the packages you mentioned. But I haven't yet figured out how to view the source code. I will be thankful if you can guide me or provide links for this. <br>I also installed kstars v1.6.0 <br>
For starters, I observed that all the globular clusters show the magnitude as 99.9 <br>1. How can I report this bug? (Also how can I see whether it has already been reported/fixed or not).<br>2. How can I correct the bug?<br>
<br>Thanks for all the help.<br><br>Regards,<br>Laurad.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 12:41 AM, Alexey Khudyakov <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:alexey.skladnoy@gmail.com">alexey.skladnoy@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

First of all you need to install more recent version of ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10.<br>
8.10 have rather old version of KDE so it's likely that you will have<br>
to build kdelibs<br>
from source<br>
<br>
You need following packages. I may forgot something or misspell package name.<br>
Note on naming conventions: packages which contain library headers have "-dev"<br>
suffix and packages with debug symbols have "-dbg" one. Other distribution may<br>
use other suffixes though.<br>
<br>
Package list:<br>
* build-essential<br>
* g++ [not sure whether build essential pulls it]<br>
* cmake - build system used by KDE<br>
* ccmake<br>
* -dev and -dbg packages for Qt4. Qt4 consists of many packages. Their names<br>
start with libqt4-...<br>
* -dev and -dbg packages for kdelibs (I cannot remember their name<br>
right now). You can build them from sources but installing from repository<br>
saves efforts.<br>
* libqt4-assistant [A must. Offline documentation for Qt4]<br>
* svn<br>
* git & gitsvn<br>
<br>
Currently KDE uses SVN but it is switching to git at the moment. Akarsh, do<br>
you have any updates on it?<br>
<br>
Probably best approach is to use gitsvn for time being. It's more<br>
convenient and<br>
you will end up using git anyway.<br>
<br>
Anonymous SVN could be accessed here:<br>
<br>
$ svn co svn://<a href="http://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdeedu" target="_blank">anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdeedu</a><br>
<br>
There is web interface to svn: <a href="http://websvn.kde.org" target="_blank">http://websvn.kde.org</a><br>
<br>
<br>
KDE wiki contain a lot of useful information. Take a look at it<br>
