Krusader installation instructions on KDE4.x
Please read the
INSTALL
file of the Krusader sources, it contains all latest installation instructions.
From version Krusader-2.0.0 and higher is KDE-4 only.
At moment of writing Krusader-2.0.0 is still under development, though it works :)
"krusader_kde4.tar.gz" is the supposed name of the krusader tarball (it will be probably a different one ;)
You can download the latest available krusader-2.x from SVN.
The next packages are needed to run the Krusader binary.
c libraries
