Meiko Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) 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. (Reading database ... 224684 files and directories currently installed.)

I've also successfully installed another package, kdelibs5-dev, but it didn't have any effect on the konstruktor install. Edited October 25, 2013 by Meiko Quote
pbat Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) 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 .

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.
