./configure problem with apollon on RH 9 -> cannot find QT headers and libraries
Mighty Linux gurus, please help a poor unforutunate who is really trying to dump windoze.
I have downloaded the source for gift and comilied and installed that with no problems. I have also downloaded and compiled giFTcurs for use with gift and that works a treat.
The problem is I really want to use apollon, from everything I have seen it is simply the best interface. When I run a ./configure on apollon I get the above error ( not EXACTLY but I am away from the offening machine at the moment ) I have checked that I have qt 3.1 ( rpm -q ). I have found various suggestions about using --qt-libraries=blah/blah/blah options but none of those seemed to work.
It seems to me that the ./configure is attempting to verify the existance of certain files ( what files exatly, the names might be handy ) and cannot locate them.
You'll need the source rpm's for qt installed.It's the same thing like qt-3.1-blah.rpm just with a src between the blah and rpm like this: qt-3.1-blah.src.rpm
Well, that didn't work. I installed qt-devel-3.1.1-6.src.rpm and it still wont compile. Still comes back with cannot find qt headers and libraries error.
I checked with my config.status file and that are the references to qt I found for my install:
s,@qt_libraries@,/usr/qt/3/lib,;t t
s,@qt_includes@,/usr/qt/3/include,;t t
s,@QT_INCLUDES@,-I/usr/qt/3/include,;t t
s,@QT_LDFLAGS@,-L/usr/qt/3/lib,;t t
ooopz
I just tried the rpm and the install failed complaining about giFT not being installed, but it is! Thats probably cos I compiled giFT.
Anyway Apollon is working now after compiling it instead.
This may help...
To get ./configure to work with qt make sure you have this in your .bashrc -
export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3
Also I have installed these rpm's from my distro disks -
libqt3
libqt3-common
libqt3-devel
