Installation problem with the latest stable release

[Thomas Baumgart]

Peter,

there is a subtle difference to install software from a software centre and 
from installing it from source.

Building from source (that is what you tried) can be a bit tricky at times and 
involves a bit of knowledge about the process and the tools.

Since I don't know, which distro you are using and which version of KDE (KDE4 
or KF5) it uses as base system, I cannot tell you what to do next.

BTW: 4.6.x is outdated. We are currently working on a 4.8.1 release for KDE4 
based systems and a separate one for KF5 based systems.

Hope that helps a bit further.

Thomas
