Installing plasma active (PA) on Balsam Professional fails

[Bogdan Cristea]

Hi

I am trying to setup a development environent for PA using an ExoPC tablet. 
The only way till now was to install the Meego based image, but this solution 
is not appropriate for development since the repositories are scarce in 
packages.

I have followed the instructions for installing PA on Balsam Professional with 
Balsam-Professional-12.1-USB-Install-i586.img and 
http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Installation#Installation_on_Balsam_Professional, 
but after installing PA from repository the KDE desktop becomes unusable.

Trying to install PA from source seems to be difficult, because one needs to 
compile first KDE. I have tried several times, but with no luck and there are 
no clear instructions on PA site.

So, I think that we need a development environment for PA based on some well 
known Linux distribution (personally I prefer openSUSE) if we want to have 
more applications developed for this platform. 

Please share your thoughts and experiences.

regards
