Answer: KDevelop on SuSE 6.3 / giflib 3.0 and glimpse

[W. Tasin]

Hi together,

let me tell you a little story about KDevelop and SuSE 6.3:

I also tried to compile and let run KDevelop (1.x - in my case)
on a clean PC and had the same problems as there were posted from
several people.

Here what I found out:

1) configure-error 'cause missing giflib:

The ksupp-1.1.2-15.i386.rpm, which you will find on the SuSE 6.3
distribution ISN'T built with the "--with-libgif=yes"-configure-switch.
So no giflib will be installed with these binary ksupp.rpm's.

Solution:
- build ksupp by your own from the tarball.
  Of course, you can use the source of the SuSE distribution 
  (zq)-section
  You will find the tarball after installing it by "yast" in
  /usr/src/packages/SOURCES

  another way (maybe more comfortable)

- download and install my rpm-creation, you will find it on the
  ftp-mirror of kdevelop:
 
ftp://ftp.e-technik.fh-muenchen.de/pub/unix/ide/KDevelop/binaries/SuSE-6.3/needed_packages

  (this rpm is made for SuSE-6.3 and will install all supported
   libs of the ksupp-package i.e. libgif, libgdbm, libjpeg)


2) glimpse not found on startup of KDevelop:

That's right... SuSE-6.3 doesn´t "support" this package anymore
(changing license right of glimpse)
see also: http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/de/html/why-not-63.html (sorry but I
found this article only in german)

On the SuSE-6.3 distribution you can still find an old "free" version of
glimpse.
It is on CD 1 in "<mountpoint>/unsorted/glimpse"

I putted this binary rpm also on the ftp-mirror of KDevelop:
ftp://ftp.e-technik.fh-muenchen.de/pub/unix/ide/KDevelop/binaries/SuSE-6.3/needed_packages




After that now I have finally a SuSE-6.3 system to continue developing
for kdevelop :-))

Hope I could clear some questions...

Ciao

Walter
