. However, because there are no rpm packages of kaptain for Suse Linux 9 available, I tried to compile it myself.
First problem was that the configure script couldn&amp;rsquo;t find the libraries and headers for qt3:&lt;code&gt;&amp;gt; checking for Qt… configure: error: Qt (&amp;gt;= Qt 2.2.2) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!&lt;/code&gt;Thus I executed ./configure with the option:&lt;code&gt;&amp;gt; ./configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt3&lt;/code&gt; Now the configuration script proceeds to the end. However, the make still fails, the last lines of output are like this:&lt;code&gt;Making all in kaptain make[2]: Entering directory &lt;/code&gt;/home/jeltsch/downloads/kaptain-0.71/kaptain&amp;rsquo; g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/lib/qt3/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -D_REENTRANT -O2 -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -c kaptain.cpp kaptain.cpp: In constructor &lt;code&gt;Kaptain::Kaptain(Intermediate*, Kaptain*, QWidget*, QBoxLayout*, QDialog*, bool, const char*)': kaptain.cpp:99: error: &lt;/code&gt;assert&amp;rsquo; undeclared (first use this function) kaptain.cpp:99: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.) kaptain.cpp: In member function &lt;code&gt;void Kaptain::button_pressed()': kaptain.cpp:1576: error: &lt;/code&gt;ostream_iterator&amp;rsquo; undeclared (first use this function) kaptain.cpp:1576: error: parse error before &lt;code&gt;&amp;gt;' token kaptain.cpp:1598: error: parse error before &lt;/code&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;rsquo; token make[2]: *** [kaptain.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory &lt;code&gt;/home/jeltsch/downloads/kaptain-0.71/kaptain' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory &lt;/code&gt;/home/jeltsch/downloads/kaptain-0.71&amp;rsquo; make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2&lt;code&gt;I got help from the author of the software Zsolt Terek.
