The installer seems to work, i.e. there are no errors reported. As I do not have any icons displayed on my desktop the .desktop file does nothing, but examining the file gives me enough data to manually create a kmenu entry which does nothing. From a console entering ./kbide gives a more meaningful error message -
./kbide: error while loading shared libraries: libQtSvg.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
This library is part of libqt4-x11 which I have version 4.3.3-15.1 installed. Could it be that KBasic cannot read the x86_64 libraries? If so when will KBasic support 64 bit? Until that time I will be unable to test it let alone purchase it. If it was possible to install from source then I should be able to compile against the 64 bit libraries or am I thinking to simplistic?
