Re: GSoC 2009 - you're in!
cocofan
vet (I guess she's allergic the new cat litter I bought). April is turning
out to be a month of disasters with me starting with my apartment being
flooded to my cat getting sick.
Anyway, are you available on chat, say next sunday or monday? I'm too busy
Friday and Saturday but will be available all day on sunday and all evening on
monday.
I now have a new computer and I'm still in the process of getting things to
build. One of the problems I have is that the configure file wants the KDE
address book installed for versions 3.2 to 3.6. Since I'm running KDE4, it
wasn't sure if I could install this on top of KDE 4 (could I? and if so, which
rpm is it in?). So I disabled KDE widgets using --disable-kde in the
configure file and this allowed me to go forward. But I'm not sure that wont
be a problem as I'm going to be running Open Office under KDE4. Would
disabling be okay? If not, is there another way to fix this problem with the
build?
