Kdevelop 3.5 on Opensuse 11.2

English Applications

Hi everyone.
I have installed opensuse 11.2 64-bit and downloaded Kdevelop4 using Yast. but kdevelop4 is buggy and I need to install a 3.5 version. So I downloaded kdebase3 and other packages and downloaded Kdevelop 3.5.3 rpm, but when I try to install it yast gives me these errors:

kdesdk3 >= 3.4.0 is needed by kdevelop3-3.5.5-1.1.x86_64
kdebindings3-ruby >= 3.4.0 is needed by kdevelop3-3.5.5-1.1.x86_64
kdebindings3-python >=3.4.0 is needed by kdevelop3-3.5.5-1.1.x86_64
libcvsservice.so.0()(64bit) is needed by kdevelop3-3.5.5-1.1.x86_64

I can’t find these packages using Yast. I even added suse11.0 repository but these packages are not there.

Could you please help me with this? I really need to start programming…

Thanks.

hi anacreon,

did you ever figure out the solution to this problem? i ran into the same thing!

Do you realize the difference between developping KDE3 apps and KDE4 apps?

I’m not trying to create KDE 4 apps. I just use KDevelop to write C++ programs with CMake. CMake creates KDevelop 3 projects, but not KDevelop 4 projects.

I tried to import the CMake project directly, but this just crashed KDevelop 4. So in the meantime, I’d love to just get KDevelop 3 running again.

OK, I got it working.

The build service provides a version of KDevelop 3.5. When it complained about kdebindings3-python, I accepted its offer to “change vendors” and install the python-sip package.

Once installed, the executable is

/opt/kde3/bin/kdevelop

I don’t know if this has repercussions elsewhere.

Hi, I wrote about my solution to the problem on this other thread

Indeed, I have found the problem. Using this method prohibits you from installing the python-kdebase4 package, which is used by a bunch of other applications, such as gmail-notifier.

Oh well, I guess there might not be a perfect solution.
