Erm .. Ville doesn't specify which Debian release he's using, but if he's using Woody, then AFAIK there is no Plastik package available, and the only way to get this style is to download the source tarball from http://www.kde-look.org and compile it yourself. I did this successfully in January.

I have the following development packages installed, which seem relevant : ii kdebase-dev3.1.4-0woody1 KDE Base (development files) ii kdelibs4-dev 3.1.4-0woody1 KDE core libraries (development files) ii libjpeg62-dev 6b-5 Development files for the IJG JPEG library ii libmng-dev 1.0.3-3M-N-G library (Development headers) ii libpng-dev 1.2.1-1.1.wood PNG library - development ii libqt3-mt-dev 3.1.2-0woody1 Qt development files (Threaded) ii libstdc++2.10- 2.95.4-11woody The GNU stdc++ library (development files) ii qt3-dev-tools 3.1.2-0woody1 Qt3 development tools ii xlibs-dev 4.2.1-15.backp X Window System client library development files (I have a backport of Xfree86 4.2.1 from backports.org installed) Good luck.

(Plastik is already available for Debian.) It's also worth checking out apt-get.org for other things before you go down the compile-it-yourself path. For non-packaged apps that you want to compile yourself, you'll need to install the relevant -dev packages. Determining which package you should install is accomplished by one of two ways. First, intuit what package it's missing. (In this case it's easy, but not immediately obvious.) Second, look for a specific file that the make or configure script is moaning about not being able to find, head to packages.debian.org, and search for which package contains that file. (Yes, you can also use the 'apt-file' utility if you prefer.) In the Intuit Case - this one - the guess would be x-dev $ apt-cache show x-dev reveals that you probably want libx11-dev So install that package. (The intuitive process often involves the judicious use of the apt-cache command, specifically the 'search' and the 'show' parameters, and often piped through a 'grep dev'. For example : $ apt-cache search x | grep dev | grep ^x This would narrow your search down quickly to a handful of easily assessed alternatives.) Jedd.
Failed to install window styles on KDE 3.1.4
Hi! I've been trying to figure out how to install new window styles, such as Aqua or Plastic, but I run into the same message every time I execute "./configure": checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! Where are the includes the script needs and how can I add the paths so that the right files are found? I have little to no idea how to start solving this one.
