KHexEdit installs in the "Utilities" group. It uses the name "Binary Editor" in the menu. It can be run from the command line as "khexedit" as well. Normally you must be root (have administrator privileges) to successfully do the "make install" step. configure options: 1.I have set the default KDE directory to be "/opt/kde". This can be overridden by using the option "--prefix". An example can be "configure --prefix=/usr/local/kde" The program files will then be installed to the directories in "/usr/local/kde" 2. Where are the Qt libraries and headers? If you have an "odd" layout on your machine you can use the following options: --with-qt-dir=DIR where the root of Qt is installed --with-qt-includes=DIR where the Qt includes are. --with-qt-libraries=DIR where the Qt library is installed. 3. "configure --help" lists all available options.
