klik-able package of KDEEdu module now for download

Sunday, 25 September 2005 | pipitas

The klik-enabled kdeedu-3.5 packages compiled from today's Subversion checkout are now up for download. (We do not offer yet a working klik://kdeedu link, though). They have passed some initial testing on SUSE-9.3 (with KDE-3.4.2), SUSE-10.0 and Kanotix 2005-03-DVD. They should be working fine on all KDE 3.4 systems. The package uses a $KDEHOME of $HOME/.kdeklik so it does not interfere with your standard $KDEHOME. It builds its own $KDESYCOCA, so startup needs some time. Let me know of any additional systems it works on (I am currently learning how to prepare this -- I need your feedback), as well as the exact error messages that pop up.

To install the 20 kByte klik client scripts, run "wget klik.atekon.de/client/install -O - | sh" and follow the instructions. Then, to get the maximum of debugging output, run the package like this: "sh -x .zAppRun kdeedu-latest-debug.cmg". My last blog has some more hints.

What I am interested most in is this:

Successes and failures
Which OS/version are you using?
Which KDE version is running on there?
What are the exact error messages you are seeing? (No, not the ones where the Kernel tells you it can't mount -- these are a different thing)
Specifically, which libraries are not found?

Next to come is a klik-able KOffice package (to show all these Alan Yates-es of the world how lean a fast, complete and powerful a Free Software Office Suite can be made and yet support the OpenDocument format to the fullest).

And then, a complete KDE-3.5... Welllll, just kidding. ;-)
