Hi all,

I am trying to install KDETelepathy on my Kali Linux (v1.0.7). I followed the guide in the link below:
http://community.kde.org/KTp/Installing_stable_release

The packages I already had installed were the telepathy-mission-control-5, telepathy-gabble and telephony-haze.
When I tried to install the telephony-butterfly package, I got the following message:

E: Unable to locate package telephony-butterfly


I downloaded the telephony-qt.0.9.3.tar.gz from here:
http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/releases/telepathy-qt/

I then ran the command
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release ..

This is the message that appears on my terminal (trimmed, the complete output is available in a .txt file that I am willing to provide if it will help):

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!


When I try to proceed with make, there is no makefile found. According to the output, the software is said to be optional. Why then is it reporting an error?
Any assistance is welcome.

Can you please post the full CMake configuration output so we can examine why it failed to configure?
