Hi, I just downloaded kfiresaver3d-0.6, and
I compiled and installed it, but it is not
listed under LookNFeel. So then I tried
installing it like this:
"./configure --prefix=/usr/" instead of
./configure. The --prefix=/usr/ had worked
for k3b 0.11.1 and plastik 0.3.9. It was
still not listed under LookNFeel. Then I
found an executable file named kfiresaver3d
in /usr/local/kde/bin/. I double clicked it
an a little window opened and the
screensaver was playing in it just fine.
But there is still nothing under
LookNFeel/Screensaver. BTW, dont suggest to
do configure with /opt/kde, THERE IS
NOTHING IN MY OPT DIR, and yes I tried make
install as su and as root. Please help.
BTW2, here is the output of make install:

Try configure again but without the trailing "/", eg:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
instead of
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/

Before doing that, you might want to tidy up the source from when you compiled it before, so the whole process would be:

$ cd /home/andrew/Documents/kfiresaver3d-0.6
$ make clean
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
$ make
$ su
$ make install

Oh, and if you haven't got xscreensaver (and xscreensaver-demo) installed, you might want to. You can find it on either CD 1 or 2 of the mandrake install CDs. The file to install will be named something like xscreensaver-4.14-i586.rpm
, which you can install by:
# rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/PATH/TO/xscreensaver-4.14-i586.rpm
