Description j m 2005-11-28 04:46:59 UTC
I'm running SuSE 10.0 EVALUATION version, I'm logged in as Root and I am trying to compile Kaffeine 0.7.1

-When I try to run ./config for kaffeine 0.7.1 I receive an error stating that I cannot compile simple C++ programs and may need to install a package called libstdc++-dev or similar
-I open YaST2 and search for libstdcc+-devel
-Upon finding it I mark it with a check box
-I check dependencies and receive "all package dependencies are OK"
-I click on accept and I am prompted to put in CD3.  I do this, the installation goes through without error and the SuSE profile files are all updated
-I'm prompted for further installations, I choose "no"
-I run the Kaffeine configure again and receive the same error
-I open Kmenu->Find files/folders
-I search for "Named: libstdc++-devel Look in: /"
-It only finds a folder named libstdc++-devel located in /usr/share/doc/packages/

(When this failed to fix my problem the first time I tried getting libstdc++-devel via apt-get so this may be why there is folder called libstdc++-devel.  When this still didn't resolve my problem I uninstalled it via YaST2 and then tried reinstalling via the CD again as mentioned above)


-I reopen YaST2 and confirm that the following packages are installed:
compat
compat-libstdc++
libstdc++
libstdc++-devel
-I reopen k menu->find files/folders Named: libstdc++* Look in: /
-I find the libstdc++.so.6 in /usr/lib
-I only find libstdc++-devel folder but not the libstdc++-devel file itself

Am I misundertanding something?  I also included extra library paths in the kaffeine ./configure command so that it would see the /usr/lib/ and /usr/share/doc/packages/ directories (though I doubt the latter one would help).  I still receive the same error message when I run ./configure in Kaffeine

In summary, is YaST2 not loading the libstdc++-devel library?  If I look in YaST2 it says in the "technical data" that its installed and in the "dependencies" that it provides libstdc++-devel but as I've mentioned above I cannot find this file when I search using "Named: libstdc++* Look in: /"

Is libstdc++-devel not a file?

What does 'rpm -q libstdc++-devel' report on your system ?
What does 'uname -a' report ?

This looks like an error of the 'configure' script coming with kaffeine in finding the libstdc++ library.

Btw, "libstdc++-devel" is just a package name so you cant find it via kmenu->find. If you want to know the files inside this package, run "rpm -ql libstdc++-devel".
