UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Dear All

I am trying to install KDevelop 3.0.0. on Mandrake 9.2. I have installed all the required dependencies but for some reason when I configure KDevelop it can't find Berkeley DB...although I know its on the system. I just installed it. I'm quite perplexed. Can anyone help?

Last line of configure giving error.

checking for Berkeley DB >= 3... configure: error: no - please install Berkeley DB >= 3

Although its all here in

/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.3

and various db_ files in /usr/bin

How can I tell the install where these files are?

Thanx

Check that your PATH is set to look at /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.3 and any bin or sbin directories under it from the account you are using to run the program. You can either add this to your PATH from the command line or put it in the .profile (or appropriate file for your shell).

Thanks for that. Now it configures okay...but now I get a problem when I try to 'make'. It tells me there is a problem with autoheader-2.5x, although again, I know it's on the system.

I don't know what autoheader-2.5x is, but you again may need to adjust either your PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is for searching your Library(ies).

Well. It beat me. I've had Linux a week, and installing stuff is driving me crazy. I think I must have stuffed up the original Linux install.

I have just reformatted and reinstalled Linux and the old kdevelop 2.1 works fine, so for the moment I'll stick with that.

Thanks for the help. I'm sure I'll need more as time goes on
