Description Eduardo Freitag David 2006-06-25 16:48:38 UTC 
Version:           1.3.91 (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

Error when compiling from source (latest version 1.3.91):

libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libXcursor.la' is not a valid libtool archive
make[3]: *** [libkdeinit_gwenview.la] Error 1

It seems that .la files are no longer supported, according to:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354674

Please follow the instructions there to update dependecies (build-dep)

Thanks!

Sorry this seems to be a packager problem (so debian's), the only problem
gwenview can have is no to test if libXcursor-devel is installed.
The thread you've pointed us seems to show the all the packages with that 
dependency must be rebuilt....

No answer since about six months, if it is still valid please reopen it.
