OpenKiosk 2.0 cannot "make install"

[marianlibrarian]

Kubuntu Hardy Heron KDE 3.5.10

I am following the simplest way to compile OpenKiosk for X11.

I was able to get through the following steps:

(1.) ./configure after doing the following:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install kdebase-dev (corrected missing x includes)

(2.) sudo make
(3.) sudo make install

Number 3 Problem

This seems to be an old problem but I have not found a solution anywhere.

Re: OpenKiosk 2.0 cannot "make install"

if (2) completed successfully, I would try

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/kde/share/config/

And then try 3. again ...

Thank you! That was the ticket.

Re: OpenKiosk 2.0 cannot "make install"

Excellent. Could you please edit the original post and mark the title as [SOLVED]? Thanks!

Also, this is a bug in the Makefile, you may want to contact the authors and let them know (the install target should use the -p, or --parent, switch to makedir)
