Update: It’s know included in the kubuntu distro as package kssh with standard installation procedure.

Switching from Suse to kubuntu went not so smooth as I expected. One small issue was getting to run kssh – a small and useful tool to manage your ssh connections.

This is the way it worked for me:

  1. Download the source file from sourceforge kssh-xx.tar.gz and extract it.
  2. Install the package libqt3-compat-headers.
  3. Run ./configure --with-qt-includes='/usr/include/qt3/' --prefix=/usr/local/
  4. followed by make and make install

That’s it!

If you like to access the kssh-Session directly from Konsole just create new session type in Settings - Configure Konsole - Session with Name:ssh and Execute: kssh .
