You can also try running: ccmake .. from your build subdirectory. You should then hit the <T> key to show all of the dependencies. Look through the list to see what is missing. There is a library: libkcddb. Do you have it installed? If you installed the binary (RPM), then you also need to install the 'kdemultimedia-devel' package. -- James Tyrer Linux (mostly) From Scratch ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
