[LUGSB] Newbie question - installing KOffice

Yi Suo sybatter at yahoo.com
Tue Nov 18 02:57:17 EST 2003 

I downloaded the file from kde.org, typed ./configure
in my shell but got the following error:

checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X
includes. Please check your installation and add the
correct paths!

My roommate told me that it has something to do with
the path of my KDE. What are the steps I should take
to fix this problem? Or perhaps first of all, what is
the fastest way to find where my KDE is?

Thank you!

Yi Suo

Since you are Newbie, let me ask you.. do you want to install from sources or 
you just want KOffice. If you just want KOffice, first check if your 
distribution CDs have it.. KOffice is standard in most distributions.. so if 
you are using redhat or mandrake, it is already on the CDs. Just install it 
using the software installer.

If you do want to compile from source, then you need to install "development" 
packages for X, Qt and KDE. These are packages marked "devel". So for X, 
they'll have the name XFree86-devel and so on.

Hi,

Does anyone know any easy and clean way to do network "profiles" on Linux?
I want to be able to switch between different wired/wireless network
configurations based on where I am.  There seems to be a boot time command
line option, but I want to do it without rebooting.  Also, if possible, I
don't want to have multiple ethernet interfaces, especially for the same
physical device.  For example, I might want to use 802.11 in two different
places, but I don't want to have eth1 and eth2 for them.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Akshat
