I've been trying to find a good Linux LDraw-based program, and found Konstruktor, since it was linked on http://wiki.ldraw.or...Started_-_Linux. I tried installing it, but its failed after various attempted methods. I'm not sure if anyone here has any good Linux knowledge or not, and I'm not a newbie with working with Linux or command line, but I can't seem to find one of the required packages no matter what I do. I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 amd64 with a GNOME shell.

This is the dependency package I need, but when I try installing it, this is what I get:

george@GEORGE-PC:~$ sudo apt-get install kdelibs5
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package kdelibs5 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'kdelibs5' has no installation candidate

Here's the errors I get when trying to install the amd64 Konstruktor package:


george@GEORGE-PC:~$ sudo dpkg -i '/home/george/Downloads/konstruktor_0.9-beta1-2_amd64.deb'
Selecting previously unselected package konstruktor.

If anyone has any idea what I need to do, any help would be appreciated.

I've also successfully installed another package, kdelibs5-dev, but it didn't have any effect on the konstruktor install.

Since you use some GNOMEish desktop, I guess your ubuntu seems to have no idea where to look for the kdelibs5 sources. As far as I recall, you must first add the proper repository to the sources list to allow APT to find it. Something like

sudo add-apt-repository [REPO CONTAINING THE LIB NEEDED]

and then

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kdelibs5

Alas, I have no idea, what repository is the right one for you. Maybe this link might be of some help. Maybe

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/ppa

might work.

If not, feel free to head over to http://askubuntu.com/questions/ask and file your question there: The chances to get some linux experts are way better over there :tongue: .

Did that, still this error even after the addition of the repo and the update:

Package kdelibs5 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'kdelibs5' has no installation candidate

I'll go to askubuntu later today.
