Hi all,
I'm trying to install K3b and I keep getting some errors. I'm trying to install k3b-0.11.10. It configures fine and tells me to MAKE and so I do. This is the error to I get:

Are there other packages that I need to install? What might be my problem? Also I'm running Fedora Core 1 with kernel 2.4.22. KDE 3.1.4 window manager.


Cheers,
Chevy

your installed version of qt might be out of date... it looks like you have version 3.1

i have compiled mine on qt 3.2 and 3.3

you can find some rpm's of qt and those should work fine, and you may want to remove the old qt rpm as well

How do I do that? Using Fedora Core 1. Do I remove the old Qt first before install new one?

Thanks,
Chevy

yes, you should remove the old remove the old qt first, but since you are using fedora core, you should be able to do yum upgrade qt or something similar

I just did the yum upgrade qt and it did do an upgrade but when I go to install the rpm I get a message saying it couldn't find certain packages. They are libXinerama.so.1, the next one is qt (qt-devel 3.1.2) and finally /usr/lib/qt3.1 (redhat-artwork). Is telling me that I don't have Qt at all?

Chevy

"when i go to install the rpm".... what rpm are you trying to install? if you ran the upgrade, it should upgrade automatically....

if you are missing those libraries, then yum should have installed those too.... if it didn't, just do yum install packagename

I'm trying to install Qt 3.3.2.-2 i386.rpm.

When I type yum install qt I get this:

[root@hot-rod steve]# yum install qt

Server: Fedora Linux 1 - i386 - freshrpms
Server: Fedora Linux 1 - i386 - updates
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
qt is installed and is the latest version.
No actions to take
[root@hot-rod steve]#


Any other ideas?

Chevy

so, do you have qt 3.3.2 installed? or are you still trying to install that specific rpm (qt-3.3.2-2.i386.rpm)?

install that rpm (if yum was unable to do it automatically) with rpm -Uvh packagename.rpm

if there are dependencies, then google for those libraries, and find the rpm sites from where you can download the necessary packages

jeez rpm's are annoying....

*edit: there are probably k3b rpm's for fedora core... and the k3b page confirms it: http://k3b.plainblack.com/index.pl/download

if the rpm's are just wreaking havoc, take a look at that page and have yum install k3b for you automatically

How do I go about removing qt 3.1?

Chevy

Ok, I just tried installing the k3b rpm this way and I get dependency problems. Does this mean I have to install all of them manually?

[root@localhost steve]# rpm -Uvh k3b-0.11.10-1.xcyb.fc1.i386.rpm

check the yum manpage (man yum); i thought yum automatically took care of dependencies

if not, then you'll have to search for all the rpm's containing those files and install them

to remove an rpm, i belive you use rpm -e, but check the manpage once again

sorry for not being too specific, i haven't used redhat in a long time and never used fedora; i don't like rpm's or rpm-centered distros for the reason that they are too much of a hassle

I have had my share of problems with k3b., 2 differnt installs a zillion differnet problems.

FC2 .. comes with 0.11.9 .. doesn't see inserted blank CD's Complains that CDREAD is not being run by
root .. and I should use K3bSetup to fix it. (This SUCKXXXXXXXXXX .. it was installed at install time and not later so should have the right permissions .. but it doesn't)

So I try to find K3bSetup and it doesn't exist .. not in the package not in the distro .. nowhere .. Bogus info.
So I try to download 0.11.10 and hope that will have it ..
- comes back with libmad and libid3 not found .. so between 0.11.9 and 0.11.10 they have ADDED
FREAKING NEW LIBS

FC1 - doesn't have K3b in distro ..you can find Binarry RPMS .. but they are ALLLLLLLLLLL useless.
Why .. because all k3b RPMs ask for 6 other lib's that NOONE has anywhere (libFlac, libid3 .. libmad .. etc. etc. )

So you have no choice but to complie it .. good FREAKING LUCK.

./configure in K3b says you need Qt > 3.1 .. I have 3.3 . well it doesn't like it .. say's it should be with threading
support .. (Corr. to compile K3b you MUST have source of Qt and have compiled it on your machine).

So you try to compile QT .. The makefiles have NO option to provide threading support that K3b asks for.

Either I am incredibly stupid or these guys have achieved Telepathy with themselves and their computers to
get this gobbly gook to work at all.

My frustration is not only from K3b . there are about 100 other problems I had to navigate and each one of them a lesson in itself, but this one takes the cake.

K3b is an absolutely SUCKY (suckiest, grosslysuckyshtung ) package though I can name another 6/7 packages
that are also near the same level of suckiness

I have spent about 2 days on it, but am seriously thinking on going back to Windows and will check with linux
in another 10 years or so. ( I don't think it will be around)

It's rather dishearting to see how many people think they can program and are doing god's work by puttiing in
all this effort to fight the evil empire .. I guess with programmers like this Bill G doesn't need any other help.

i wouldn't say k3b is a sucky program... just because you can't get it to compile on an incomplete, rpm-based distro

try using a distro that doesn't have so many dependency problems... that way, you have the choice to compile with almost complete freedom or use useful packages that don't go through dependency messes.... ok, sounds like an advertisement for slackware, but i am serious about this

in my experience, rpm-based distros have always wreaked havoc because they split programs and libraries into other parts, that can only work with Specific versions of each file... i don't tend to feel kindness towards programs that maximize upon this either (::cough::evolution email::cough::)

don't go out complaining about linux (especially the distro itself) when you've only had one out of the many flavors (and anyway, linux is just a kernel, and i don't the kernel has ever given you any problems)... the ability to choose is a virtue, one thing windows-dependent users can't seem to grasp

and besides, there are plenty of other options out there besides k3b... in fact, nautilus for gnome comes with a built-in cd writing program (burn:///)

*edit: and fyi.... k3b definitely does NOT suck

good day

*edit 2: sorry for aiding in the garbaging of this thread, i was a bit angered when the above poster declared in an utmost pathetic fashion the uselessness of a well-built program

Your defecnce of a useless program is remarkable.

Try following the thread from k3b.org and see where it gets you.
What's this about "some RPMs may have added libraries".. these are the RPMs k3b.org says go get them"

Now here is abit more specifc info. about K3b ..

First the dependencies .. well you give up on that so I won't argue.

Start the program and and an error message pops up saying run K3bSetup
ITS NOT included with FC or with any of tHE RPMS that I found .. and I looked at plenty of them.

K3b guys don't know how to write code .. far less distribute it .. UI is copied from other examples,
underlying lib's are from other packages. For crying out loud this is a wrapper and they can't get that right.

If you can give me ONE good reason why one has to "configure cdrecord and cdrdao" to run as root AFTER
the install I will grant you every argument.. (wonder if you or them have read any system calls ..)
I don't know of any other U/LInUX program where you have to do this.

Bitch is not about Linux kernel, INHO .. it's the only stable thing in this package .. and one can't eat the
kernel .. unless you are a hacker and then it doesn't matter to you or what you say to anyone who uses
computers as tools and not an end by themselves.

Bitch is about these guys who think they are writing code .. I could care less about msft .. but their software
is 100000000 times less buggy then most of the crap floating around as "great open technology"
If in doubt go play with kvivo .. or something that presumably tries to emulate visio .. it's a joke like most of
the "applications"

ps:

ability to choose is not a virute .. it might be a "blessing"
writing good code "could" be a virute, and we know virtuous are rare

I Installed K3B with the apt-get tools (synaptic as GUI). No pain at all. You might want to give that a try.
