Hello,

as i am no KDE-User, i still hope you can help me with my problem compiling and installing Calligra-Suite.

Maybe a month ago i installed the calligra-suite 2.4.0 from the Mint-Repos on my notebook running linux-mint maya (which is a Gnome 2-Fork) - just to give it a try - while having bad remembrances about the former KSpread and KWrite from the computer-palaeozoic ages. But when i started the new calligra, i was rather pleased with it because it was faster than Libreoffice, has a nice gui and proved itself as stable.

So i decided to install it on my Fuduntu-PC, which is basically a improved Fedora 14 (Kernel 3.4.4-1) running on native Gnome 2.

I used the RPM's from

http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/kde-redhat/fedora/16/x86_64/RPMS.unstable/
and
http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/kde-redhat/fedora/17/x86_64/RPMS.unstable/

to have it as easy as possible, but (as expected) the installation of rpm's failed because of dependencies.

So i tried to compile and install calligra from source on my Fuduntu following the instructions from

http://community.kde.org/Calligra/Building#Recommended_setup

After installing the few KDE-libraries and non-kde-libraries needed as demanded in the recommended setup - instructions, calligra compiled in about half an hour with some warnings only, but after installing, the binaries do not start, and i have no idea what is the reason.

I tried to compile the sources for calligra 2.4.3 and 2.4.91.

Only the braindump-app can be started, but all the icons on its gui are missing. After all i suspect, there are some more dependencies than
those mentioned in the recommended setup - instructions, but i am not sure.

So i ask, if anyone has ever built a calligra > 2.4.0 from source on a Gnome 2 based PC ?
What libraries are needed, that are not mentioned in the setup-instructions ?

Thanks

Moved to appropriate location

it's not so much dependencies as the fact that you need to set PATH and run kbuildsycoca4 (stuff which is done for you when installed via packages)

I believe this is describe in our wiki as well
