Okay, I actually have two problems.
Firstly, whenever I try to use KPackageKit to search for packages to install it gives me an internal error. The details read "the backend took too long to process the synchronous request - you need to fork!".
(A more annoyingly unhelpful explanation would be hard to imagine
)
On the odd occasion that it actually does work it usually gives me a blank list, even for a string that I KNOW should give me results. I know it should give me results because when the planets align in exactly the right way it actually works with the very same string.
Secondly, I've tried to install GTK+ version 1.2.2 to because I need it to install XMMS. Whenever I try "./ configure" it bombs because it says "X libraries or include files not found.". I've used apt-get to install all the X libraries (I think), but it still says the same thing. I checked the config.log, and this is what it tells me at the end where it bombs:
Can anybody help please?
