Two dumb questions

Darkstripes · #1 (**permalink**) 07-15-2003

It's obvious I'm a newbie after today, so I come to ask two questions. Or, solutions to two problems, anyway.

I'm running KDE 3.1 on SuSE Linux 8.2, for reference.

1. After downloading programs for KDE and running 'configure', I infallably get an error that states: 'in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!' What do I do about that?

2. Apparently, my computer's name is 'x1-6-00-40-ca-1a-9e-c0' ... For example, my Konsole prompt starts with 'Darkstripes@x1-6-00-40-ca-1a-9e-c0' ... Can I change that?

Thanks!

1. Have you installed the KDE headers RPM? It should be kdelibs3-devel
http://www.suse.de/us/private/produc...bs3-devel.html

2. See your documentation for yast. I'm using a 7.x version of SuSE so I can't give you exact instructions. You should be able to set your hostname.
