Hi, I am trying to install a musiscore - a program that writes music notes. ./configure however aborts: configure: error: need qt =>3.0.0

Well, I am trying to find that qt. I suppose it is something like qt-3.0.0 in a tartball or rpm, right? Where do you get that qt?

You're in luck - I was looking for it yesterday.

http://freshmeat.net/releases/107237/

If you need stuff in the future, there's always searching that site and

http://www.google.com/linux

but sometimes it is hard to figure what you need or where to get it.

wonderful! THANKS!

Hang on

Your distro will have Qt 3 in it already. Go onto the CDs (or use urpmi) and install the qt-devel packages.

You don't need to download stuff like qt from the net.

You are right. I run slocate and found qt3.
I have no idea why ./configure returns configure: error: need qt =>3.0.0. even if I tell it --with-qt-prefix=/usr/lib/qt3
Any idea?

got the qt3-devel pacakge installed too?

No, it was not installed. Now it is and I got a bit farther.
Yet, there is a problem.

This time "./configure" went well.
The problem was on "make"

Hoping you (somebody) would be able to help.
(please scroll down for the errors at the end. I marked red different stages of install)

Bug in the app, probably caused by gcc3.2 being less tolerant of mistakes than its predecessor. Contact the author of the program, ask them, they can help.

Why are you manually forcing the prefix btw? You shouldn't need to do that.

Yes, I am forcing the prefix for qt3 manually. Author recommeded to do so if ../configure doesn't see it. I hope the author knows the problem and can help. It looks like a nice program.

You're forcing the install prefix is what i meant, the

--prefix=/usr/share/mo...

Why? There's little reason for it and it just complicates things...

Ah, you high-falutin' folks with your distros from this century.

Can't help you with the latest part, linuxfond - needless to say, few apps I try compile correctly. Gotta get a new distro. Damn dialup.

No, in fact I do not try to complicate the things. I just wanted to have in installed in a folder that I will know what's its contents.

I thought that might have been the source of problems. i tried to install without prefixes. Same result, same error messages.

Now i exchange emails with the author, which is very helpful. I still haven't got it right, but i am getting closer. I will report success or failor later.

I try to install MusiScore because it seems to be better than Brahms (Brahms is time consumming like Finale for Windzoo).

I was trying to install it with a wrong qt! Actually, README did not explicitely tell it HAS to be qt-3.1.1 from trolltech!
Now running make.....

Btw, just an idea, if you get that

error again, try make again, because I got a very similar error when building my fluxbox rpm just now, and the second attempt worked fine!

Thanks. I am still running make in qt-3.1.1.... what a huge thing it is that qt-3.1.1!
It took more than an hour to ./configure, and I don't know when the make will tell its done. I hope it all goes fine...
