Thanks, Christopher!

You're right, it doesn't work with 0.5.1. I was surprised at this at first, but then I remembered that I checked out the latest version from bzr instead of downloading 0.5.1.
And 0.5.1 requires no patches on my machine, as it turns out. It already includes all the stuff that I've created a patch for. I thought that the source from the repository would have the latest fixes... Oh, the irony.

Christopher,

I would've gotten nowhere without your post :) I think I screwed up the patch a little while uploading it to Pastebin because of their @@ highlighting. Do you think you could host the patch somewhere? I could also add some instructions for people who have never used patch.

Awesome, thank you for that!

Upd: I succeeded in installing Pate. I uploaded my patch to Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/f9701101. In short: sip/ktexteditor/configure.py, sip/kateinterface/configure.py and sip/kateinterface/kateinterface.sip had to be modified to include some folders/headers.

Hi Christopher,

I would also appreciate it if you could locate your Pate patches. I'm trying to install Pate on Kubuntu 8.04, unsuccessfully so far. Apparently, the configure script fails to locate ktexteditor/*.h files when it attempts to compile ktexteditor bindings.

There's an error in the python-kde3-dev package. The files in /usr/lib/python-2.4/ and /usr/lib/python-2.5/ should be in /usr/lib/python2.4/ and /usr/lib/python2.5/ so you need to copy or symlink them.

2008-05-10T02:01:00.000-05:00

Hi Jan,

the mentioned file is in this folder yet.
i recognized there are 2 python versions?
python-2.4 & python-2.5. though in both site-packages/ is a file named pykdeconfig.py.
mmh. so that seems to be not the problem.
i'd really like to this plugin working. so if there is any other idea, i'd try it.

greetings
Chris

i'm in the same situation as vince. i'm suffering the same issue with PyKDE.
it would be great if you post how you solved it.

Yeah, I'm kind of at a loss too.. here's the output of dpkg -L python-kde3-dev | grep pykdeconfig

/usr/lib/python-2.4/site-packages/pykdeconfig_d.py
/usr/lib/python-2.4/site-packages/pykdeconfig_nd.py
/usr/lib/python-2.4/site-packages/pykdeconfig.py
/usr/lib/python-2.5/site-packages/pykdeconfig_nd.py
/usr/lib/python-2.5/site-packages/pykdeconfig.py

I'm not a python developer so I'm not sure how to start the python command interpreter. Can you email me at vince71 at gmail dot com? I'd really love to get your plugin working as I'm recently moved over from TextMate/Rails to Linux/Rails

2007-12-01T22:40:00.000-06:00

vince,

$ dpkg -L python-kde3 | grep pykdeconfig
/usr/share/pycentral/python-kde3/site-packages/pykdeconfig.py

Looks like dpkg says that pykdeconfig is provided by python-kde3, so I'm kind of at a loss.

How was Python installed? If it was installed by source or some other way besides apt and the official Ubuntu repositories, then you'll have to configure it to look in for pykde wherever apt installed it.

What happens if you start the Python interpreter on the command line and type 'import pykdeconfig'?

2007-12-01T15:57:00.000-06:00

Yup, that was the missing package. Now, however I get:

configure: PyKDE not installed or not in the Python path (could not import pykdeconfig).

I thought I'd install python-kde3 and python-kde3-dev but neither package helped me get past this one. Could I be missing something else?

2007-12-01T15:32:00.000-06:00

vince,

The 3 sip packages I have installed are:

sip4
python-sip4
python-sip4-dev

I'm not sure, but I think maybe a couple of them were installed by default on my system, hence why I didn't feel the need to list them in the original post.

'dpkg -L sip4-python' shows that it provides sipconfig.py, so I think that should do it for ya.

2007-12-01T13:45:00.000-06:00

I'm getting an error that says:

configure: CMake 2.4-7
configure: Kate plugin directory at /usr/share/apps/kate/plugins
configure: SIP not installed or not in the Python path (could not import sipconfig)

I do have sip4 installed via apt-get as per your post. Any ideas?

Ahh... post updated, thank you.

2007-11-21T21:46:00.000-06:00

After installing 'kdebase-dev' in addition to the packages you listed, it build and installed and Pate is now running in Kate.

Thanks!
