Re: compiling KDE apps

Hi list,
Every now and then I meet a good app that isn't in Debian (sid) and compile it
myself. It doesn't always seem so simple wth kde apps however. I tried to
compile kopete; Compiling goes fine but when I run the program (from the
source dir,) the prompt comes back immediately, and there's no kopete window.
This is in my proces list:
yalu 621 0.0 5.9 25248 15300 ? S 12:04 0:00 kopete -session
117f000001000
When I run from /usr/local/stow/kopete, where I installed it, this is what I
get:
kopete: KopeteEmoticons::initEmoticons : WARNING: emoticon-map not found
It didn't seem to want to be installed anywhere other than /usr. I ended up
taring up an install of it and running alien. I guess either kde or kopete
doesn't know enough to look in both /usr and /usr/local for shared files. (like
perl, python, emacs, tex, etc.)
Keep your eye on kopete. I like the idea of a dockable IM application, but I've
had nothing but bad luck with it. It has, on many occasions, eaten all of my
disk space (with a 800+MB .xsession-errors file) and eaten all my memory. In
the end, I gave up and went back to gaim.
