kcalc?

[Thomas Moschny]

Hi!

What happend to kcalc?
kdeutils-3.5.6-3.fc7 contains some traces of it but not the binary itself.

A quick list search showed that this happened earlier in 2005, and at that
time it was due to a missing gmp-devel requirement.

Regards,
Thomas

While I cannot help you with kcalc (sorry), have a look at qalculate
(http://qalculate.sourceforge.net/) for a replacement.

It works really well and I particularly like the option to change units, which
comes in very handy for my kind of work.

Greetings,

Anthony

Thanks for the pointer. I will definitively have a look at it. Are there
fedora packages somewhere?

It's in Fedora already,

yum install qalculate-kde

You need the kdeutils-extras package ...

Cheers,

Ah, right. Thanks!
But then, I wonder why 'rpm -ql kdeutils | grep kcalc' isn't empty...

$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/kcalc

kdeutils-3.5.6-1.fc6
kcalc seems to be part of kdeutils on FC6. Although, it's still at 3.5.6 and I
should be updated to kde 3.5.7:
$ rpm -q kdelibs kdebase
kdelibs-3.5.7-2.fc6
kdebase-3.5.7-2.fc6

yum search kcalc
is your friend. :)

hint: For F7, we moved it (kcalc) out of the default install, in favor
of the more powerful spreedcrunch

"smart search kcalc" in my case, but yeah, should have tried that first :)
I was irritated by the fact that the kdeutils package on fc7 contains some
traces of kcalc.

Patches welcome.
