Kopete Debian package upgraded from source problems

[ZeroKun]

Debian.com doesn't have it up, has anyone made one? I can't get passed the xls thingy when I try to compile it, even after I installed packages that I thought were related.

*edit* If you have a problem with IRC after upgrading Kopete from a debian package to the source for KDE 3.2, look below.

[shah]

apt-get install kopete :D
or
apt-get -t testing install kopete :D

[ZeroKun]

Can't too many broken dependencies, last time I fixed them it seriously screwed up my install. Btw, the testing version on debian.org is still 0.8.2.

[shah]

Mine is v0.9. Maybe it comes with kde3.3.
Anyway I try compile it just now, and it works.
You could try compile it yourself; the procedure:
1) download kopete source :http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/kopete/kopete-0.9.0.tar.bz2?download
2) uncompress the source file to directory of your choice, use ark...easier
3) Open root konsole and change to that directory
4) run ./configure --prefix=/usr
5) run make **this might not work if you have dependencies problem
6) run make install .....and you're done.

:D

Thats what I did, and I got errors when I was making it, something to do with xls for the style sheets. I installed them after seeing I didnt have any packages, and it went a bit further, then more errors. And yes, .9 comes with kde 3.3, and a source for 3.2 was made, but no deb.

[shah]

I'm afraid I can't help you because I can't see the error produced while you compile.
Maybe you could use gaim as an alternative. That's what I used. :D

I know, I was going to post it, but now it worked, I guess it was either my restarted my pc or redoing the whole source from scratch. Anyway now it crashes, I debugged it and I think its irc causing it, do you know where the settings are stored? Id like to reset my settings and accounts.

*Edit* Found the correct settings file, not the one in the .kde/share/apps, but the one in the config folder, I still dont know if IRC will work, but I will rename this post to point out this problem
