181When installing kmicrokdelibs_1.9.2_arm.ipk (or newer version)
182I get a "This application depends on other programs".
183What programs I am missing?
184A:
185You probably do not have to care about that.
186kmicrokdelibs_1.9.2 will come with some
187resource plugins, which needs additional libraries.
188(E.g. libopie1, if you want to use the
189opie resource connector in KA/Pi).
190If you do not have this libraries installed,
191you simply cannot use the resource.
192To make it clear:
193If the libraries are missing, the applications
194using kmicrokdelibs will start,
195because the resources are plugins.
196If you get an error, simply install the other packages and try again.
197If the install problem persists rebooting may be helpful.
