Good evening, I am trying to follow the instructions here: http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=Kopete+SVN
and do things like it says (I'm quoting): > Install with another --prefix > Kopete needs to be installed in order to run properly. But you may > want to not overwrite the kopete installed from binary package with > your distribution. > In that case, you can install it in your $HOME > ./configure --enable-debug=full --prefix=$HOME/kopete > make && make install > to run the newly installed, you have to do > export PATH=$HOME/kopete/bin:$PATH > export KDEDIRS=$HOME/kopete:$KDEDIRS > kbuildsycoca > kopete First of all, I have the impression that it should be KDEDIR, not KDEDIRS (S at the end) and $KDEDIR, not $KDEDIRS. (wiki should be corrected, I can do it if you'd like) Anyway, I'm running on KDE 3.5.1 and wanted to test 0.12a1 and not install it under /opt/kde. So I followed the instructions above, and installed it in ~/kopete/ So far so good. Now, I did exactly this inside a konsole: export PATH=$HOME/kopete/bin:$PATH export KDEDIR=$HOME/kopete:$KDEDIR kbuildsycoca kopete Kopete is launching but I bet it's loading the .so plugins from /opt/kde/. It's interface is the one of 0.12a1, but it's acting very weird and for example it loads the old chat styles while it shouldn't. I recompiled and installed it in /opt/kde overwritting kopete 0.11.1 and then it was of course operating properly. There has to be a way to run kde apps from a prefix, but I just can't figure it out. I tried a couple of things like: export KDEDIR=$HOME/kopete (not including the rest $KDEDIR) but the result was the same. Any ideas ? -- Thanos Kyritsis <djart at linux.gr> - What's your ONE purpose in life ? - To explode, of course! ;-) _______________________________________________ kopete-devel mailing list kopete-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kopete-devel
