    You are not used to linuxese parlance :-p

    I'll try to translate: "This package (hk_classes-devel) contains the
    necessary files that are necessary to compile applications that need the
    libraries contained in hk_classes"

    That is, you need 'hk_classes' to use the applications that link to them.
    But, if you want to compile programs using libraries in 'hk_classes', you
    need 'hk_classes-devel' as well.

    The description I have in SuSE 8.2 says:

    "Header files and API documentation (/usr/share/doc/KDE-API/hk_classes)
    for the hk_classes."

    Terse, but that's what "...-devel" packages are.
