Kde3 packages: "non existant prefix '' for kdelibs3"

I have no ide what happend but today I'm getting this error for all packages for kde3:
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for kde-config... /opt/kde/bin/kde-config
configure: error: /opt/kde/bin/kde-config --prefix outputed the non existant prefix '' for kdelibs.
This means it has been moved since you installed it.
This won't work. Please recompile kdelibs for the new prefix.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
although it is working if done with as root user with argument '--asroot' (but I must add to all PKGBUILD string: '--with-qt-dir=/opt/qt')
what happend ? what did I screw up ?

Yeah, that worked for me, but it's an indication that some work needs to be done. One needs to AVOID running this as root, and so I think thats going to be the first challenge for the amarok1 maintainer. The ONLY thing we should use root for is the actual installation, not the compilation.

Problems packaging non debug swf for iOS

Hi all,
I'm using the latest 3.5 beta (saw the same problem using 3.4). When i package de swf for iOS i got this error:

More Lion issues - Throwing Console errors for non-existent application

Again, with the bad side of Lion.
I was receiving all kinds of console errors in Lion with TweetDeck and Adobe AIR apps so I de-installed these applications and removed them from the system. However, Apple's fantastic Lion Operating System still is complaining about them even though they are not to be found.
In the console I am getting sandbox errors on locations and files that are non-existent. Below is a snapshot of the error messages, and the directory referred to: /Users/kkathman/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR/ELS/TweetDeckFast.... and the others DON'T EVEN EXIST!!
How do I keep this from happening? Why does the OS go after this when it's been removed?????

Don't know how you de-installed but you didn't fully uninstall them. If you did not have an uninstaller supplied with the applications, then here's what you need to consider in order to fully uninstall:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

My iPhone 5S prompts me for my password to an Apple ID email that no longer exists as an account. How do I change my Apple ID address without having to change the primary address to a non-existent email account?

I cannot sign into icloud on my phone because the Apple ID is an email account that has been deactivated and deleted. How can I change my Apple ID without having to change the primary email address to this non-existent account? If I did so, I wouldn't be able to access the account to receive the verification email. Please help!

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should not need to verify the old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

HT5616 I have an apple id; but when I try to sign in to iCloud, I get the msg that the apple id is not an iCloud account. However, apple was able to bill me for my non-existent iCloud account. How does that happen?

If you didn't create an iCloud account on an iOS device or Mac, you don't have one. You can't create an account on a PC. If you were charged for an iCloud storage upgrade without having an account, contact the Apple online store at the bottom of this page for a refund.

What's with the non-existant free trial download for Photoshop?

What's with the non-existant free trial download for Photoshop? You click on "Download free trial" and it takes you to a page that takes you to a forum… nothing happens. I've done this about 6 times on two browsers. Of course, there's no help from Adobe, so I'm trying this forum. Thanks!

Thanks very much for a prompt reply! Much appreciated. Unfortunately, that's exactly the page I was on. And I used both Firefox and Safari and got the same page, with the same nothing...
As this forum doesn't allow attachments, I'll cut and paste the page here (there's not much):

I'd create a direcotrie and over utl_file.fopen I can write a file to this directorie, but this works over the path, not over the directory name. the utl_file_dir parameter was also set to the correct path. Whats wrong or how can I debug this problem?
thanks.
roger

- the name of the directory is correct.
- how can I check, that the user can use the directory?
- in this logfile you can see that, the file name will replace correctly:

Application hangs for non existing value

Hi,
At the DB level I tried to query non existing value from the table, query came out with "no rows selected" . But when I try to do the same from front end, application hangs! I just checked in the statspack report it shows like query is taking more cpu time to execute. what could be the reason for this?
when I join the v$session,v$sql to get the currently running query on database, it shows the query which try to execute from the application as active.
why it is hanging in application and why not in DB?
can any one brief me on this regard? why does application hangs for non exsting value?
With Regards
Boo

Did you follow the instructions on that page exactly when creating the account ? They worked ok for me when I tried them yesterday in response to another thread.

CS3 Installer asks for non-existent DVD drive

I'm running CS3 on Windows XP. I need to reinstall because I somehow lost codecs for Premiere Pro. Whenever I try to reinstall, the CS3 installer puts up an Installer Alert that asks me to insert CS3 Master Collection Disc 1 into drive G:\ to continue installation.
That sounds pretty simple, but there is no G: drive on my computer. My two DVD drives are D: and E:, and inserting the disc there has no effect. Checking the Windows device manager shows no G: device recognized anywhere on the computer.
I can only click OK, which returns the same alert, or Cancel to cancel the installation. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get the CS3 installer to ask for installation disks on an existing drive. What's particularly annoying is that the installer is running from a DVD in drive E:, so you'd think it would know to ask for further discs in drive E:. I've tried it as well from drive D:.
Any ideas for getting the installer to stop asking for discs in a non-existent drive?
I've toyed with the idea of completely uninstalling CS3, but am afraid that the installer still won't work, in which case I won't be able to get any work done using CS3 at all.
Thanks for any and all help,
Mike Boom

The 404 means you have not followed the Very Important Instructions on the prodesigntools page before clicking the download links.
The 7 steps are crucial for setting the correct cookies on your hard drive so that the Adobe servers will grant you access to the download files when you click the links.
So:
Go back to http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
Follow the Very Important Instructions (Step 0 to Step 6 = 7 Steps)
Then click the download links and they will work.

Try the following: Where is my profine stored? It brings you to non existing buttons etc. This is so for most iof the support.

It 's a general problem: the structure of the "help sysytem" has been changed (perhaps in part I dion't kow) so the the flow of questions ends up to non existing (no more existing..) tips, suggestions, or whole instructions of how to, no more existing or operating.
Very frustrating.
I've foun my profile, in Linux, on the terminal with something like "find -name *.mab " and got it in a split second. None of the suggested ways in the help suite worked!
This is a general question for the site designers, thanks for helping [Indeed: it's the Help menu...]. Greets,
Giancarlo.

Errr... no, they really don't.
You don't need a disk (which will be out of date by the time you get it anyway) - just download the current version and insert the serial number when prompted.

I am looking to upgrade to the entire CC suite from the Lightroom/Photoshop package. The packages page says the complete suite is available to existing customers for 29.99 monthly. But when I try to upgrade I only get one option for 599.99 yearly. Can I get clarification on the $29.99 offer and who it is available for. Thank you

Hi there
The 29.99 introductory offer is for existing CS customers ie customers with a CS3-CS6 product (suite or individual product).
Hope this clarifies matters.
Thanks

PE12: asking "Where is file..." for a non-existent file

When opening a project in Adobe Premiere Elements 12, I'm getting the "Where is file..." pop up window. It's asking ...
"Where is the File 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Premiere Pro 1.5\Presets\Textures\Business Title_7.tga'?"
Which is odd because I didn't use any such file in the project, I only have Adobe Premiere Elements 12, and this is installed on a MacBookPro. So I'm not sure why it's looking for a tga file in a Premiere Pro folder in a non-existent C:drive.
I only have two video clips in this project. I'm using the cross-fade transition between titles and clips. The title template I'm using is "RedBulbs_Title". I've duplicated it several times and I seem to get that same "Where is.." pop up, one for each time I've used the "RedBulbs_Title" template.
Am I missing something in my installation?

A.T.
I have a new project that I've created in Pe12. I get the message every time I open the file to continue editing. So, I created it, edited for a while, and save. When I open the file again, days later, I get the error.
It does seem to be related to the titles in Pe12. The error seems to occur once for every time the title template is used. I dismiss the error saying the file is Offline so that I can get to the project and continue working. Even though the file is considered "offline", the video doesn't seem to be mising any components.
I'm useing Pe12 for Mac, purchased new from Amazon.com. It was a clean install. There was no previous installation of Premiere Pro or Elements.
I have not imported any jpegs. My source files are .mp4 and the title graphics within Pe12. It's a very simple project.
The strangest part for me is seing a Windows error message on a Mac. I've never even opened the Windows install disk for Pe12, much less used it in the Mac.
Using Finder to search for the missing file returns no results as if the file doesn't exist anywhere on the Mac.
Am I correct in that the Title clips in Pe12 are not on the installation but on the internet? I seem to recall that the Title files had to download the first time I used a particular title in Pe. Could it be a problem with the downloaded files?
I'm re-installing Pe now. I'll let you know how that goes.
Re-installed over previous install hoping to avoid losing anything. Big mistake. Everything just crashes now. Uninstalling everything, preferences and all, and will do a clean install.
more to come.
