I just installed redhat 9 and kdevelop. I am trying to compile a simple KDE normal application. I have not changed any of the code since the application builder made it. I am getting the following error:

-Wconversion -O2 -O0 -g3 -Wall -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -o helloworld2 -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/lib/qt-3.1/lib -L/usr/lib -R /usr/lib -R /usr/lib/qt-3.1/lib -R /usr/X11R6/lib helloworld2view.o helloworld2doc.o helloworld2.o main.o helloworld2doc.moc.o helloworld2.moc.o helloworld2view.moc.o -lqt-mt -lpng -lz -lm -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE -lpthread -lkdecore -lkdeui -lkio

gmake[2]: *** [helloworld2] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mike/helloworld2'
gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
gmake: *** [all] Error 2

I am assuming that it is some sort of path problem. I am running KDE release 3.1-10. Any help would be much appreciated.

You're probably missing libart-devel package (or one with a very similar name). When you're programming, you need *devel* packages (a devel package is needed to compile a program using the library the package belongs to). If you have enough free space, install all *devel* packages coresponding with your libraries (you won't need most of them, but all programs should compile).

I went ahead and downloaded the libart package and it is installed. I am still getting the error. Currently my installation of redhat 9 is unmodified. I selected the KDE environment and installed all the development packages with it. Any other ideas?

libart-devel?

I was using the KDE GUE install. It worked when used RPM from terminal.
