Re: NEW - Why source code programs do not compile?

I have already

libqt3-headers_3%3a3.3.6-3ubuntu3_i386.deb
libqt3-mt_3%3a3.3.6-3ubuntu3_i386.deb
libqt3-mt-dev_3%3a3.3.6-3ubuntu3_i386.deb

and had the problem that does not compile, will check the link you gave me
and try again... anyway will install KDE and see what happens...

Thanks!

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
