Hi everyone! I got the following weird message when I tried to install Quanta (quanta.sourceforge.net) on my computer. checking sizeof size_t == sizeof unsigned long... no configure: error: Apparently on your system our assumption sizeof size_t == sizeof unsigned long does not apply. Please mail kde-devel@kde.org with a description of your system! It's a Debian system which was installed from a Knoppix 3.3 (www.knopper.net) CD-ROM. I've tried a complete apt-get dist-upgrade, but it didn't solve the problem. What else do you want to know about my machine? Hardware: Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo A laptop computer AMD Mobile Athlon XP 2000+ ATI IGP 320 Chipset Hope somebody out there can tell me what is going wrong over here... Thank you!
