KDE app development on Debian/Mepis?

[Swaroop C H <swaroop@swaroopch.info>]

Hi all,

  (I'm not sure if this is the right mailing list, please point me in 
the  right direction if so)

  I am trying to write a simple KDE Hello World using KDevelop3 on 
Mepis 2004.06 but it refuses to compile since it requires the 
multi-threaded version but if I try to install that, Synaptic says that 
it will uninstall ark and most of the other KDE utilities!

  I am a long-time-Fedora-user-but-new-to-Debian, so any help would be 
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
