greetings, 
I'm posting to the list for the first time. 

I appreciate that is a specialist list but I think I need your help. I'm 
fairly new to Linux and I am also compiling from source for the first time.

For some reason, on Mandrake V10.2(LE), Quanta (V3.3.2) seems to be the only 
application installed by default.

I am trying to compile from kdewebdev-3.3.2.tar so that I can run Kommander, 
Tidy, KFileReplace and Kompare with Quanta as a complete family on KDE 3.3.2. 
I am having trouble with 'configure', I 'm stuck and I haven't got to make 
yet, I need some help.



This is what I have done...

As a first step INSTALL advises on running ./configure   
This I have done and I have installed these (missing) library files along the 
way (via urpmi),

libfam-2.6.9-alt1.i586.rpm  ...............................(not sure if it is 
required, it was one of the first libraries reported missing)            
libkdecore4-devel-3.3.2-123mdk.i586.rpm ...(apparently this is kdelib-dev - 
most confusing, thank God for Google) 
libxslt-proc-1.1.12-3mdk.i586.rpm
perl-XML-LibXSLT-1.57-2mdk.i586.rpm ...........(not sure if its required, I 
found it via Google on 'libxslt' - if it is required I have a problem since 
this it fails to install fully)



This, I think,  is my problem....

running ./configure --quiet  ..reports as follows,

[root@happy kdewebdev-3.3.2]# ./configure --quiet
appending configuration tag "CXX" to libtool
appending configuration tag "F77" to libtool
configure: WARNING: knewstuff/knewstuff.h: present but cannot be compiled

./configure: line 36744: xslt-config: command not found

configure: error: You need at least libxslt 1.0.18 for this
  version of xsldbg
[root@happy kdewebdev-3.3.2]#               

I suspect that the libxslt library is fine and that my problem is now with 
'knewstuff' & co. 

Using Google, I have found a few posts complaining about 'AC_PACKAGE_NAME' and 
a disturbing article by Andrew McCall on Autoconf, but no useful remedies, 
please help.

Thanks,
Brent.

p.s. my apologies for the size of the 'narrative'.
