Problem compiling Application with SID & KDE3.1.1

[Timo Springmann <timo@OrangeOrb.de>]

hi there,

I wanted to compile the program kdepim-kontact for my Debian/Sid Box. I'm 
running KDE 3.1.1 from Sid.

Here's what I got when I want to compile the app:

---------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
checking for libjpeg... -ljpeg
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.1 (20021021)) (headers and 
libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, I thought, simple. Just go and install the dev package. First I checked 
what packages are installed:

---------------------------------------------------------------
tohuwabohu:~# dpkg -l|grep ^ii.*qt
ii  libqt3-headers 3.1.1-7        Qt3 header files
ii  libqt3c102     3.1.1-7        Qt Library
ii  libqt3c102-mt  3.1.1-7        Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime version)
---------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, now I was looking for some dev packages (but ... uhm ... at least the 
headers are already installed...?!):

---------------------------------------------------------------
tohuwabohu:~# apt-cache search libqt3
libqt3-compat-headers - Qt 1.x and 2.x compatibility includes
libqt3-dev - Qt development files
libqt3-headers - Qt3 header files
libqt3-i18n - i18n files for Qt3 library
libqt3-mt-dev - Qt development files (Threaded)
libqt3-plugins-headers - Qt3 plugin header files
libqt3c102 - Qt Library
libqt3c102-mt - Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime version)
libqt3c102-mt-mysql - MySQL database driver for Qt3 (Threaded)
libqt3c102-mt-odbc - ODBC database driver for Qt3 (Threaded)
libqt3c102-mt-psql - PostgreSQL database driver for Qt3 (Threaded)
libqt3c102-mysql - MySQL database driver for Qt3
libqt3c102-odbc - ODBC database driver for Qt3
libqt3c102-psql - PostgreSQL database driver for Qt3
qt3-assistant - The Qt3 assistant application
---------------------------------------------------------------

uhm... no libqt3c102-mt-dev package. Think I can use the non-c102 package, 
because it only contains the headers. So I tried to install the libqt3-mt-dev 
package: 

---------------------------------------------------------------
tohuwabohu:~# apt-get install libqt3-mt-dev
[...]
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libqt3-mt-dev: Depends: xlibmesa-glu-dev but it is not going to be installed 		
		or libglu1-mesa-dev but it is not going to be installed or
		libglu-dev
E: Sorry, broken packages

uhm... when I try to install the libglue1-mesa-dev package apt-get tried to 
remove my whole KDE:

tohuwabohu:~# apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  libglu1-mesa libglut3 xlibmesa3-gl
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  ark arts artsbuilder kaboodle kaddressbook kalarm kamera kandy kappfinder 
karm kate kcalc kcharselect kcmlinuz kcoloredit kcontrol kcron kdat
  kde-theme-liquid kdeadmin kdeadmin-kfile-plugins kdeartwork kdeartwork-style 
[...]
1 packages upgraded, 3 newly installed, 135 to remove and 100  not upgraded.
Need to get 4427kB of archives. After unpacking 182MB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
---------------------------------------------------------------

uhm... somehow funny. I need to remove my whole KDE to compile a KDE 
application... 

I also got this problem a few days ago with another program. That time I 
thought it was a problem with that program (can't remember which program it 
was).

Can anyone tell me what I can do in this situation? Is there a solution for my 
problem?


so long,
Timo
