package names are <literal>tdelibs-trinity-dev</literal>,

<para>If at this point you are getting errors about missing libraries, you will
|

probably need to install more development packages from your distribution. The

<filename>configure</filename> script is very verbose, you will be able to tell
|
|
which package you need from its output. If you need even more information, look
|
|
in the <filename>config.log</filename> file. You will need to go to the bottom
|
|
and then scroll a page or two up to get to the point where it reported the
|
|
error. If everything fails, ask for help on the

<ulink url="http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=244388">&kplayer;
|

user forum</ulink>. Do not forget to include the full output of
