KCalc is part of the KDE project http://www.kde.org. KCalc can be found on ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/, the main ftp site of the KDE project. It's home site is http://math.cornell.edu/~wuebben/kde.html
In order to successfully compile KCalc, you need the latest versions of libkdecore
and libkdeui
. All required libraries as well as KCalc itself can be found
on
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/.
The usual:
% ./configure
% make
% make install
IMPORTANT: On a number of systems, including Linux systems using certain version of gcc (gcc-2.7.3 RedHat 5.0 for example) will not get a working version of kcalc unless you undefine the preprosessor symbol FABSL in
../config.h
that is change the line
#define FABSL
to
/*#define FABLS*/
However, this will give you greatly reduced precision; kcalc's fundamental data type will be double instead of long double. Complain to the gnu people or to your distribution and ask them to ship a working version of gcc.
Should you run into problems please report them to me.
