I tried installing the old version of kile (2.1.3) in ubuntu 18.04, because every time Ubuntu is updated, the beta version gets install by default. I really don't like the version beta-2 of kile because it doesn't have a correct orthographic dictionary package and the IDE is don't good.

So I downloaded the package .tar from the kile website following the instructions, the problem is that it requires to install KDE 4.4 and shows the following error message:

DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/kile-install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug"

I appreciate if anyone could help me installing KDE-4.4 or tell me how to install the old version the kile.

Thanks!!

The default kile version (Kile 2.9.91) shipped with kubuntu 18.04 does not behave as expected. In older versions this

$ kile myfile.tex

would open myfile.tex for editing. However, in the current version this tries and fails to open http://myfile.tex. The error message I get is "http://myfile.tex Host not found", which is not too surprising. I tried to wrap the filename in quotes, use kile ./myfile.tex and kile file://myfile.tex. The first did not change anything, the second and third resulted in a segfault.

What is the right way to open files using the command line in Kile 2.9.91?

What works, what doesn't?

$ kile myfile.tex                         -> Error: http://myfile.tex
$ kile "myfile.tex"                       -> Error: http://myfile.tex
$ kile myfile.txt                         -> Error: http://myfile.txt
$ kile myfile                             -> Error: http://myfile
$ kile Documents/myfile.tex               -> Error: http://documents/myfile.tex

$ kile ~/Documents/myfile.tex             -> Works!
$ kile /home/user/Documents/myfile.tex    -> Works!
$ kile $(realpath myfile.tex)             -> Works!

$ kile ./myfile.tex                       -> segfault
$ kile file://myfile.tex                  -> segfault

I've accidentally added 'itterative' to Kile's dictionary (right click on the wrong button). Now I'd like to remove 'itterative' from the list of correct words but I can't locate the dictionary anymore (the old link in settings->configure kile ) does not link to where it used to...

Thanks in advance,

PS: I use Kile as out of the box...no special settings no-nothing

EDIT

To adress Oli's answer below. Kcontrol is not in the 10.10 reps (apparently) downloading the .tar.gz version of kcontrol and install it, by typping:

cd ~/Documents/khepera
SUBDIRS="libtns_util libxfgc libkhepera kcontrol"

for i in $SUBDIRS ; do make -C $i install; done
for i in $SUBDIRS; do make -C $i clean; done
for i in $SUBDIRS; do make -C $i tgz; done

creates load-full of errors. I guess they could be solved, but it seems of an overkill just to locate Kile's dictionary. Any other ideas?
