[CLUE-Tech] Error during make `3ddesktop'

[Chris Schock]

I'm not sure how severe not finding the KDE includes is, but you will
probably need to figure out where those are at and tell configure
explicity where to find them. "configure --help" usually tells you how to
specify that.

The -lttf error is the compiler trying to find the truetype font (TTF)
library. You might want to search for libttf. I found one in /usr/lib

If you don't have the TTF library, you should see if Mandrake supplies it
with their distribution, or else download and compile it.

Hope that helps!
