Run-Time Dependencies

Several programs included in kdeutils are frontends for other software, and so require these external programs to be present at run time. kgpg requires GnuPG-1.4.11 or GnuPG-2.0.18, kdessh requires OpenSSH-5.9p1, while irkick requires LIRC. The ark program will require appropriate utilities to handle various archives, including Zip-3.0, UnZip-6.0, IcedTea6-1.9.7 or JDK-6 Update 18 (for the jar program), Unrar-3.9.10, rar (binary only shareware), p7zip, zoo, and ncompress.

Install kdeutils with:

cp -v /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4       admin/libtool.m4.in &&
cp -v /usr/share/libtool/config/ltmain.sh admin/ltmain.sh     &&
sed -i -e "s@/usr/include/tqt@$TRINITY_PREFIX/include/tqt@"   \
