Hi,'

I just installed kubuntu on my laptop, and now I would like to install some additional programs, ig. kdevelop, but i don't know how?

I tried searching for the package in adept, but no results. I couldn't find anything in the help tab ind the menu.

I hope someone can give me some pointers.

Sorry to ask such lame question...

Thanks

Bo

It's obviously not on the Ubuntu repositories, but you could get it from Debian's repos (you would have to add a debian repository to the sources.list file in the /etc/apt/ directory). Though from what I've heard that's not recommended. Another option is to complile it yourself.

Have you actually tried doing a 'sudo apt-get update && apt-get install kdevelop' ? If you have and you still have problems installing it, try searching google for more Ubuntu repositories that can be added to your /etc/apt/soures.list. There are tons out there that provide 'hard-to-apt' programs.

try

Code:

 apt-cache search kdev

to see if apt can find the Debian package name for the program you want to install.
