hi,

funny, that mail of mine was quite old ... i think i sent it about half a year
ago ...
but i was still having a very similar problem recently when installing suse
7.0 on my new computer - i hacked a bit into the configure script and found
out that it fails to compile a c++ file that includes some qt headers. suse
version of qt 1.45 did not have them in its includedir and when i looked at
trolltech i did not see anything of a qt 1.45, only 1.44.
i then downloaded trolltech's version, compiled it, set QTDIR and KDEDIR to
the correct paths and everything worked!
even though i had kde2 installed as primary wm and qt 2.2.2 as standard - so
the problems some people seem to have with compiling kdevelop under kde2/qt2
could be related to suse changing some header filenames!?
well, right now i am developing nice kde2 apps with kdevelop running in
kde2/HEAD (i have set KDEDIR to /opt/kde and KDEDIRS to /opt/kde2 and they are
not conflicting - i do not need any script for starting kdevelop!)

maybe this info might be useful for someone - for questions cc to usul at gmx.li
directly as i do not look at the list very often.
