Hello list
I have a doubt about source code in Ubuntu... why some programs by
sources do not compile? the compiler returns undefined symbol or
something like... for example am trying to compile KVIrc (from
kvirc.net) and it fails because undefined symbols. Not system
library symbols, symbols from the KVIRC, and am sure it is not
KVIRC bug since the same sources compile in slackware, freebsd,
fedora, etc. I got some errors compiling xosview, by fortune they
were available as package, but there are a lot more that are
available only as source and don't know what to do...
Thanks for your comments

Compiling from source requires the development libraries for the
components your software needs. For instance, kvirc requires the Qt
libraries. No big deal, they are already there if you are running
KDE, however these are RUNTIME libraries. The development libraries
are ADDITIONAL and in the packaging system are usually suffixed with
"-dev".
So you need the Qt runtimes to run pre-compiled stuff, but you need
the Qt *development* libraries AS WELL to compile Qt applications
from source (like kvirc).
BTW, did you read this:
http://kvirc.net/?id=install
Cheers,
James
