When trying to run the configure script of gnash from CVS (as of
November 1st 2007, around 17h34 GMT), it errors out because it cannot find the KDE development package.
The error message is

ERROR: No KDE development package installed!
Reconfigure using --enable-gui=...
to choose a different gui
or install the KDE development environment from http://kde.org
or .deb users: apt-get install kdelibs-dev
or .rpm users: yum install <something-else>.

The message is correct, but could be more didactic, and maybe the script
should simply choose gtk by default.

A more didactic message would be

ERROR: No KDE development package installed!
To disable the KDE gui,
reconfigure using --enable-gui=<list-of-guis>
and omit "kde" from the list.
When the option --enable-gui=... is omitted,
the default behavior is that of --enable-gui=kde,gtk
To be able to build the kde gui,
install the KDE development environment from http://kde.org
or .deb users: apt-get install kdelibs-dev
or .rpm users: yum install <something-else>.
