konserve is a backup util that i am trying to install in kde 3 from redhat8.
(http://www.eikon.tum.de/~hermes/konserve.html)

i understand that redhat has mod'd kde and that there are some fundamental diff's but im not sure exactly what they are.

trying to install konserve, i receive (@ ./configure):
---------------------------------------
checking for rpath... yes
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!
[root@jezebel konserve-0.7.1]#
---------------------------------------

konserve's docs state:
-------------------------
See file INSTALL for the detailed installation instructions. Please note that this program expects to be installed in the standard KDE directory structure. If it is not it won't load its icons and the documentation correctly.
-------------------------

but that is about the extent of what i can find. i suppose that i have to make some symlinks or whatnot, but i am in over my head (again...**sigh**).

the good news is that i seem to be the very first person to ask about this problem, so i dont have to fear the ol' RTFM (since i already have... :) )

i would really appreciate any help that you could give on this...thanx!

You likely need to have the KDE development package installed.

rpm -qa | grep kde

and have a look for something like

kdelibs2-devel

It could be you need to specify the main KDE directory in ./configure.

The install docs should tell how to specify where the KDE headers are installed.

./configure -help (or two -- as in --help)
