FC3: KInstaller Making Linux simple

KInstaller is an application to simplify the compilation and installation of KDE programs shipped as tar packages. In fact KInstaller is an easy to use graphical frontend to the ‘configure; make; make install’ steps.

Troubleshooting:

C++ preprocessor error
Problem: configure: error: C++ preprocessor “/lib/cpp” fails sanity check
Solution: # yum install gcc-c++

KDE: QT error
Problem: configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.2)
Solution: # yum install qt-devel

KDE: missing headers
Problem:

checking for KDE… configure: error:
in the prefix, you’ve chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!

Solution: #yum install kdelibs-devel
