  1. Best Answer

    how come kde4-config package is not found?

    Should there be a package kde4-config ?

    Ubuntu Packages Search: http://packages.ubuntu.com/

    http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=kde4-config&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

    You have searched for packages that names contain kde4-config in all suites, all sections, and all architectures.

    Sorry, your search gave no results

    There are packages: kde-config-*

    http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=kde-config&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

    The command kde4-config is:

    NAME
       kde4-config - Prints KDE installation paths

SYNOPSIS
       kde4-config [--expandvars] [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--libsuffix] [--localprefix] [--version]
                   [--types] [--path type] [--userpath type] [--install type]

DESCRIPTION
       kde4-config is a command line program used to retrieve information about KDE installation or user
       paths.

       Use this program to determine where the various aspects of the KDE installation reside on your
       system.

    It is part of the kdelibs-bin and kdelibs5-dbg:

  2. I like the accepted answer https://askubuntu.com/a/140214/168991. I helped but didn't completely solve my problem: I saw the error message sh: 1: kde4-config: not found printed my many x programs since I installed ubuntu 14 plus Trinity Desktop Environment. I got rid of it by creating a dummy program /usr/local/bin/kde4-config in my path that does nothing but exiting with 1:

    #!/bin/sh
exit 1
