kdelibs4-devel vrs libkde4-devel requirement in src.rpm

English Forums Feedback

trying to build from a generic src.rpm but it says
kdelibs4-devel requirement not met. After Googling
I see that openSuse calls this lib libkde4-devel.

Why? and is there an easy way for the system to
respond positively to the " BuildRequires:
kde4libs-devel" command other than editing the spec
file?

thanks,

pain it is - what I do is try and build the
src.rpm to see all dependencies are met except
for the kde4libs, then I “rpmbuild --rebuild –
nodeps xxxx.src.rpm”

You can also edit the .spec file but that gets
confusing for me.

All wrong: libkde4 is not openSUSE’s port of kdelibs4. They are different things. openSUSE does not change things in the KDE naming conventions.
So, the problem must be elsewhere. Do you have the full KDE4 and Qt development patterns installed? Please check.

maybe you don’t realize that you are asking a technical question in a
forum which is to be used to provide comments and suggestions about
all the forums…the only real problem with that is the folks who have
the ability to help you may not visit this more group administration
focused area…

so, i would suggest you post to a ‘help’ group, maybe
opensuse.org.help.application (since i guess you are trying to
install a Linux application on your 11.1, but see the fuller list below)

before you do: i wonder if you know that it is NOT required to compile
everything you want to install…nor is it required for you to even
download rpm packages…most (not all, but most) common use packages
are contained in the openSUSE repositories and therefore easily
installed with YaST or zypper…

read up on those, as well as compiling software at
http://en.opensuse.org/Concepts

then, post again in one of the help fora…
opensuse.org.help.applications
opensuse.org.help.applications.multimedia
opensuse.org.help.hardware
opensuse.org.help.hardware.laptop
opensuse.org.help.install-boot-login
opensuse.org.help.looking-for
opensuse.org.help.network-internet
opensuse.org.help.programming-scripting
opensuse.org.help.programming-scripting.build-service

or, if you wish you may log into the web side where all those and
other fora are mirrored, see: http://forums.opensuse.org

either way, next time you post include the name of the application you
are trying to install…
