If &kmymoney; crashes on startup without trying to load a data file, there may be a problem with your installation. See the section on installing &kmymoney; or the section on getting help. - - - When I start KMyMoney I get a "Malformed URL" error. What's - wrong? - - - Usually the reason for this is that you didn't run 'make install' as - root. This step actually copies all of the icons, and other files needed by - KMyMoney to run properly. If you did run this, make sure you passed the - correct prefix to cmake at the beginning of your compile.

See the previous question/answer for more information. - - - - - - What options are useful to pass to cmake? - - - The most important option is -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. This specifies - where you want to install KMyMoney; it should be the same location where - &kde; is installed. In many distributions, cmake will find this location on - its own, but if it can't, you can use the command line tool - kde4-config --prefix to read out what the prefix should - be. For &RedHat;-based distributions, including Mandriva and Fedora, &kde; is - installed in /usr. - Another useful option is -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE. Normally this is not set, - but if it is set to Debug, it will allow you to build KMyMoney with debug - symbols, which help in trying to figure out crashes. This option is essential - if you are a developer and want to contribute. - - - - - - The Git version is broken! What do I do now? - - - Usually the reason for this is that one of the developers made a change - to the code that requires a clean reconfigure. See the end of the section on - compiling from source for - instructions. If you follow these steps carefully, and still have a problem - compiling, please post a message to the &kmymoney; Developers List at - &devlist;, and include the failed output of either the cmake or - make command. - - - - - - - I compiled from source, but the version number in the Help->About - dialog no longer gets changed to show the latest git commit, like it used - to? - - - You probably ran $ make without running $ - cmake or $ ccmake first.

Will &kmymoney; work without a full KDE desktop? Yes, &kmymoney; will work without a full &kde; desktop, but you will have to install the basic &kde; libraries first. The easiest way to do this - is to use your distribution's - package management system, which will handle these requirements - automatically.
