[Elphel-support] help Please Re: KDevelop 3.5 on Ubuntu 12.04

[Adam Gibson]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to get the Elphel Software setup so I can examine the FPGA
project.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on a VMWare Virtual and I'm unable to install
KDevelop 3.5, (I can Kdevelop 4).

In all my wiki reading I noticed that it says that Elphel isn't compatible
with KDevelop 4.

 

I'm a Windows person dipping my toe into linux waters so please forgive me
and understand I may need more explicit help.

 

When following the Elphel instructions to the letter for Ubuntu 11.04 (which
are just the 9.1 instructions); since it is the latest Ubuntu mentioned in
the wiki.

I've been digging on the KDevelop site trying to find old installers but I
have come up with nothing. Is anyone able to help me please? Thanks in
advance to all.

 

Below is the console print when I enter the command that fails.

 

 

adam at ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install kdevelop-kde3 kdevelop-kde3-doc
