Hi, You must have downloaded the K-IWrite for KDE 1.1.x, and must be having trouble compiling, that could be a good reason to read this :) To compile and that K-IWrite.tgz, follow these steps: 1. run : tar -zxvf K-IWrite.tgz (to uncompress the archive) 2. then: cd kiwrite 3. delete the file named config.cache by executing: rm config.cache 4. add the environment variables and paths to your /etc/profile or type them on the shell. 5. Now you can run: ./configure; make; make install 6. after installation right clik on the kpanel then choose Restart. 7. you will find the kiwrite in the Application menu. To compile most KDE 1.1.x tar.gz packages under Red Hat Linux 6.2, add these lines (anywhere) in the /etc/profile file . # QT specific paths QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-1.45 PATH=$QTDIR:/bin:$PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=$QTDIR/include export QTDIR PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH LIBRARY_PATH export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH After adding the above line in /etc/profile simply run the command: $ source /etc/profile this will update the system environment variables. One more thing you should read the help in 'kiwrite/kiwrite/docs/en' folder. I am writing for the friends who might find it difficult to compile K-IWrite and other KDE 1.1.x applications. If you don't wanted to read this, then I am sorry for wasting your time ;) Yours friendly, Rizwaan. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
