[Kstars-devel] Problems with getting the frameworks branch of KStars to run on my Fedora 20 system

[Akarsh Simha]

Hi Samikshan

While I didn't encounter the KXMLGUI path issue, I did encounter the  
other error involving TZrules.dat that you show.

The solution is to export the XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and XDG_DATA_DIRS  
correctly. If you want, here is the shell script I use to switch  
between frameworks and non-frameworks branches:

Some of those variables might be unnecessary. But XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and  
XDG_DATA_DIRS are the important ones. Ensure that they include the  
important directories (etc / usr etc.) with / replaced also by  
<InstallPrefix>. See Jasem's previous post to my question for more  
stuff.

(I also asked PovAddict and mpyne on IRC. They were both very helpful.)
