There are some issues encounters while installing khtml2png using manuals from internet. Below, I try to describe some points to avoid the problems while installing khtml2png.

1. Installing all dependencies we need (for RedHat based systems such as CentOS):

# yum install gcc gcc-c++ automake autoconf zlib zlib-devel
# yum groupinstall "X Window System" "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"
# yum install kdelibs kdelibs-devel
# yum install Xvfb xorg xorg-x11-font*

2. Installing khtml2png from .tar.gz distribution package:

# wget http://path_to_tar_gz/khtml2png-2.7.6.tar.gz
# tar xzf khtml2png-2.7.6.tar.gz
# cd khtml2png-2.7.6

3. We need to edit the configure file to be look like this:

./makeClean
cmake -D QT_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/include/ -D QT_QT_LIBRARY:PATH=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib/libqt.so -D QT_MOC_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin/moc . -G KDevelop3
cmake -D QT_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/include/ -D QT_QT_LIBRARY:PATH=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib/libqt.so -D QT_MOC_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin/moc .

You should check paths to QT library, if you haven’t libqt.so file, the solution is to use libqt-mt.so file – simply make a symbolic link to it:

# cd /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib
# ln -s ./libqt-mt.so libqt.so

/usr/lib64/ – I have the x86_64 architecture.

4. Now we can try to configure and make the app:

# ./configure
# make
# make install

5. Run the Xvfb in background:

# Xvfb :2 -screen 0 1024x768x24&

6. And we can make our first screenshot:

# DISPLAY=localhost:2.0 khtml2png2 http://google.com google.png
