Like most of these screensavers, when compiling from source on Xandros 2 and 2.5, one must first use:


./configure --prefix=/usr -with-qt-includes=/usr/include/qt3

make

(Log in as root or su)
make install

Then, as root, execute

cp '/usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/Kogs.desktop' '/usr/share/applnk/Applications/System/ScreenSavers/'

This has been a thorn in my side for some time... hope it helps someone else.

When I install Kogs, at level in make:

[root@localhost kogs-1.1.0]# make

Like you can see, I have an error of compilation, I use Mandrake Linux 9.1 (based on RedHat Linux). Thank you for help me.

I writted "I'm logged in roor". I want to say "I'm logged as root".

I'm logged in roor. when I type ./configure after the prompt there is an error:
"checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0) (headers and libraries) not found.
Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
demolinux:kogs-1.1.0#"
Maybe I use the DemoLinux?

uh, maybe i'm stupid or something, so help me out. when i try configure, it gives me an error, and says, "make sure you install kdelibs first."

well, kdelibs is certainly installed, and i'm setting the prefix to /opt/kde3. any suggestions? is there an option i'm not setting here?

thanks.

"checking for KDE... checking if UIC has KDE plugins available... configure: error: not found - you need to install kdelibs first."

And I'm sure I have kdelibs installed :-)

Feel free to email me directly with build problems. dnewman@maraudingpirates.org

This screensaver was developed on a redhat 7.3 system with KDE 3.0 installed in /usr as well as Solaris with KDE 3.1 installed in /usr/local.

So here is what I emailed the first person with this problem:

Have you tried setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /opt/kde3/lib
before running configure? Does it find Qt? Where is that
installed? What kind of system is this that you are trying
to build it on? And can you send me the config.log? That
might shed some light on why it isn't finding kdelibs.
