KSnapshot

[Black666]

Hi!

I downloaded KSnapshot and tried to compile it, but all I get is:

black666@starbase:~/downloads/tarballs/ksnapshot> ./configure

configure: error: no acceptable C++-compiler found in $PATH

My $PATH is:
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/games:
/opt//kde3/bin:/opt/kde2/bin:/usr/lib/java/bin:

I can't think of a way that some $PATH entries or gcc components are missing, because I've compiled other progs before KSnapshot (successfully).

Would be great if someone can give me a hint.

checking for a C++-Compiler...
checking for g++... no

In other words, install g++ and you should be fine. gcc will compile c code, but you need g++ for c++ code.

Thnx for help.
First I couldn't find a package called something like g++ and the Suse Support Database didn't know it either. But after searching for C++ I found a package with a C++ compiler called "gpp" and that did it....somewhat tricky.

And after managing some QT problems too (since I started compiling my own progs I have installed so many libs and files ) I'm now stuck with this message:

checking for QT... libraries /usr/lib/qt3/lib, headers /usr/lib/qt3/include

Look at config.log for details. If you are not able to fix this, please contact Stephan Kulow <coolo@kde.org>

The last lines of config.log are the following:

Maybe it's that kapp.h file. But I don't know where to get it ???
