Problem installing kdevelop in Mandrake 10.1

I've been trying to install kdevelop 3.2 from the rpm kdevelop-3.2.0-5.mdk10.1.thac.i586.rpm under mandrake 10.1 and kde 3.2, (made sure that I had Qt 3.2, gcc 3.4.1, make 3.8, autoconf 2.59, automake 1.9, flex and libtool (whew!)), but when I try to install the rpm (um... right click, select 'software installer'), it starts, then tells me that the install failed, due to "unsatisfied libkdevwidgets.so.0".

I thought that might be resolved by installed libkdevop, but it wasn't. Is there some way to resolve this?

Thanks

libkdevwidgets.so.0 should be installed by kdevelop itself! (according to rpmfind.net)
Perhaps you have a bad RPM...

In any event, I think you will need kdelibs installed, and perhaps even kdebase. Do you have these packages installed?

PS: RPM's are binary packages (unless there is "src" in the name). You only need "gcc 3.4.1, make 3.8, autoconf 2.59, automake 1.9, flex and libtool" for building from source code)

Thanks, Bulliver
I didn't know about rpmfind.net - it seems to be a valuable resource.
It looks like the rpm I grabbed from thac differs a bit from the one that rpmfind points me to (i386 vs i586). I'll try it this evening.
And... now I'm prepared to grab the tar ball and do the ./config; make; make install bit too. This may just work!
