libkio.la + ksharedptr + dcopidl

[Stef <svb@ucs.co.za>]

Hi all,

I'm not a full-time developer, but I've been trying to port a kde2
app to kde3. The app is called dbdesigner ( from http://dbdesigner.sourceforge.net )
I can't really get the app to compile as a kde2 app. I've used kapptemplate
to try and port the source to kde3.

I've got almost all the "configure" problems sorted out, except for kde libs + includes
(libkio.la + ksharedptr.h) and  dcopidl 

I derived from a couple of google efforts that I probably need kdelibs4-dev

OK, I'm sure this question has been answered before, but I can't find it in the archive.
I'm currently running debian unstable's kde 3.1.1, and although I can install
kdelibs4, kdelibs4-dev depends on libfam-dev which in turn depends on libfam0,
which in turn conflicts with almost my entire kde installation.

Can someone be so nice as to explain to me a way forward from here?

Thanks
Stefan
