kio-rar on KDE 4

English Applications
#1

First, some background info. I have recently purchased a new laptop. It came with Vista on it. After some finagling with Vista and a bit of work I now have OpenSuSE 11.1 on it using KDE 4.2. I also have an old laptop which is running OpenSuSE 11.0 and KDE 3.

On the old laptop I was able to successfully compile and install the kio-rar software which allows me to open and browse through rar files through any number of KDE apps, Gwenview being the one most used.

I now want to get it working with my new laptop but have come up against a bit of a wall. During the ./configure script I receive the following error:

checking for Qt... libraries /usr/lib/qt3/lib, headers /usr/lib/qt3/include using -mt
checking for moc... /usr/lib/qt3/bin/moc
checking for uic... /usr/lib/qt3/bin/uic
checking whether uic supports -L ... yes
checking whether uic supports -nounload ... yes
checking if Qt needs -ljpeg... no
checking for rpath... yes
checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE libraries installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!

Can anyone tell me what the prefix should be?
I have already tried /usr with no success.

You probably need the dev files for KDE ( which ones are not stated )

If you have oodles of space and a good connection then just install as many
as you think is needed :slight_smile:

Unless there is more info in the install file or readme as to what deps are
exactly is needed.

And even if you manage to compile/install kio_rar, it will still be a KDE3-application (which you can see clearly from your output) and most certainly not work with KDE4 unless somebody provides a port to KDE4 for it.
