Are you going to support the new KDE ? The source will not compile
Great work. RC2 finally works for me (RC1 crashed KDE). Some suggestions: - the progress indicator should indicate whether the client is running or stopped - it would be nice if you could set the priority of the client - a left click on the progress indicator should display the work unit
Thanks for fixing the links. Ill try your suggestion next time im in linux.
when running make i receive this error: make[1]: Entering directory `/home/rnd/kfolding-1.0.0-rc1' Can't locate object method "path" via package "Request" at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/C4che.pm line 69, line 112. make[1]: *** [configure] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/rnd/kfolding-1.0.0-rc1' make: *** [configure] Error 2 [root@localhost kfolding-1.0.0-rc1]# folding bash: folding: command not found [root@localhost kfolding-1.0.0-rc1]# cd ..

Hello, I've updated the links, thanks. ---- Can't locate object method "path" via package "Request" at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/C4che.pm line 69, line 112. ----- It looks like the problem is with autom4te. Please try rm -rf autom4ate.cache in the build directory. Kevin
You need to simply remove the autom4te directory when doing ./configure Always works with me when I get that error...
This happens when ./configure puts a wrong link into Makefile Look inside Makefile and delete versions from the names of commands. Ex: ....34/admin/missing --run aclocal-1.7 to ....34/admin/missing --run aclocal
Both the links appear to be currently down. Ive downloaded the app from your homepage.
simply great, thank you.
This is a very nice and well done application although I have a small complain. Every time I log to kde, I have to manually change the status to running (it's always stopped). Can you add a configuration option to start running automatically?
Hi, Thanks for the feedback. I'll add this feature to the next release. Kevin
Just compiled it under kde 3.1.5 When I start the applet only an empty space appears on the kicker and there's nothing to configure. Suggestions?
Hi, I think what you're describing happens if, for some reason, the applet can't be loaded by the panel. Double check to see whether the file kfolding_panelapplet.so exists in your $KDEDIR/lib directory. If it is there, run ldd kfolding_panelapplet.so and check to see whether there are any lines that say 'not found'. Hope it helps. KevH
Unmerged, reemerged (I use Gentoo) with the same self-done ebuild and all worked... strange... Now it's all OK.
I have the same Problem under SuSE 9.0 with KDE 3.1.95. ldd doesn't show any errors: $> ldd kfolding_panelapplet.so libkdeui.so.4 => /opt/kde3/lib/libkdeui.so.4 (0x40038000) libGLU.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1 (0x40310000) libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x4038d000) libm.so.6 => /lib/i686/libm.so.6 (0x4044d000) libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x40471000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x405a4000) libkdecore.so.4 => /opt/kde3/lib/libkdecore.so.4 (0x405ac000) libDCOP.so.4 => /opt/kde3/lib/libDCOP.so.4 (0x407c1000) libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x407f8000) libutil.so.1 => /lib/libutil.so.1 (0x4080a000) libart_lgpl_2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.so.2 (0x4080e000) libkdefx.so.4 => /opt/kde3/lib/libkdefx.so.4 (0x40824000) libqt-mt.so.3 => /usr/lib/qt3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 (0x40851000) libXi.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 (0x40f96000) libXrandr.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrandr.so.2 (0x40f9e000) libXcursor.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.so.1 (0x40fa2000) libXft.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2 (0x40fac000) libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0x40fbe000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x40fe6000) libexpat.so.0 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 (0x4103c000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4105c000) libpng.so.3 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 (0x4105f000) libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x4108e000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x4109d000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x410ab000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x411a7000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x411b0000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 (0x411c7000) libXrender.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0x41219000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
Running Red Hat 9.0 configure fails with this message
Hi, I haven't run a Redhat system in ages, but I think the problem is you're missing some packages. Check to see whether xfree86-devel is installed. You'll also need arts-devel and kdelibs-devel at least. KevH
Thanks KevH I got it working on Mandrake then went back and after 1 hour have it running in Red Hat :-)
