Trying to install Ksirk.

[kitpierce]

I am trying to install the risk clone Ksirk. I loved playing it on Linspire, but I cannot find it in any repositories. I downloaded the source from KDE and cannot figure out how to compile. I am an incredible noob, but I have read a ton - still no dice. I have installed GCC, but it appears to require libkdegames-dev and I can't find that package anywhere. I have tried ./configure, make, etc but get a painfully long error message and don't know where else to go. Anyone have luck installing this or have any ideas as to where to turn next? Or am I just out of luck with this particular game?

Well I haven't installed that game but I can give you a few tips to try.

First, if you can't find them in the repositories I'd make sure that you've got them all activated. In Synaptic > Settings > Repositories do you have 'universe' and 'multiverse' activated? If not, do that & give a search for libkdegames-dev again..

Also, for compiling you'll probably want to make sure you've got the 'build-essential' package installed. That makes sure you've got all the compiling tools you need.

After that I'm sure it's only potential dependency problems.. but those'd depend on your error messages.

(also make sure you're running ./configure as sudo...)

Thanks for the VERY quick reply; I am loving the community so far! Sorry forgot to mention, I'm running Kubuntu 5.10 but I assumed the apt-get would be roughly the same. I have installed the build-essential package and I ran the config with sudo and then ran make as both user and as sudo, but got errors with both. I copied them below:

If anybody has hints for what's next I would love them. Also, I may be without internet for a couple days, but I hope to hammer this out soon.... Thanks again for the help in advance.

libkdegames-dev are availble, you might take a closer look, or make sure you have enable the right things in your sourcelist.

When installed. Grab also checkinstall


./configure

Please post the output of it if any errors shows up.
If not continue


make
sudo checkinstall

[kitpierce]

OK, I think I figured out what was happening. I was trying to install a beta build, so I reverted to the earlier final build and now appear to successfully installed the app because I get the following message:

Done. The new package has been installed and saved to
/home/kit/ksirk/ksirk_ksirk-1.2-1_i386.deb
You can remove it from your system anytime using:
dpkg -r ksirk

But when I try to run the program I can't find it in the K menu nor will it run when I choose Run Command... ksirk. I didn't get any error messages during the install, but can't figure out what happened. Thank for all the help earlier!

[Artificial Intelligence]

Sorry, I should have told you. You need to install the ksirk.deb file you made.



sudo dpkg -i /home/kit/ksirk/ksirk_ksirk-1.2-1_i386.deb
