I am most definately not one of those . I have Mandrake 9.1 on my PC and am quite happy with it generally !
Tonight my LICQ appeared to die. Basically when I loaded it from the KDE menu... it would appear to load and then crash.
So... I removed it and thought I'd try and install the new version!! (Licq 1.2.7)
So... I downloaded and uncompressed the source (following the destructions...as this command line stuff is pretty new to me). I managed to get it installed without to many hassles. Then in the instruction manual/guide it says you need to install a plugin (qt-gui) to get it to work in KDE etc.
So I tried to install the plugin using ./configure... the programme seemed to be happily configuring away... then bam! I got this error:
Quote:
configure: WARNING: environment variable QTDIR is not set
checking for moc... /bin/moc
fgrep: /bin/moc: No such file or directory
configure: error:
The Qt meta object compiler (moc)
/bin/moc
found by configure is not the one part of Qt 2.1.x.
It's likely that the found one is the one shipped with
Qt 1.xx. That one will not work.
Please check your installation.
Use the --with-qt-moc option to specify the path and name
of the moc compiler shipped with your Qt 2.1 lib.
Some distributions rename it to "moc2", maybe you find that
on your system.
Does this mean I need to download something?
Is LICQ the easiest program to install on my distro to get the whole thing up and running again?? Is there a better, easier to install etc programme that I should know about?
Hi Dave,
You have to set the enviroment variable QTDIR to the correct path of QT 2.1. Usually qt is located under the /usr/lib/qt or /usr/lib/qt2 directory. Once you have located your qt2 directory, open a terminal and execute this command :
export QTDIR="/usr/lib/qt"
Replace /usr/lib/qt with the qt directory you found.
Then, run configure again.
Good luck.
To solve this problem, try installing a package named libfam-devel.
I think you'll find it on your distro's CDs. If it isn't there, search for it on www.rpmfind.net and download it.

Is that a problem? I don't see an error message. Have you tried to "make install" afterwards and then running the program? All gmake said was that it was entering end leaving directories, didn't see any error there.
I think I spoke to soon. The next time I booted I had the old version back? Not sure if I didnt remove some components of it??
I used the RPM remover in Mandrake to remove the old version of LICQ.
When I try and run the new version I get this error, despite having ./configured, gmake'd and gmake'd installed the files again

Try locating the file licq_qt-gui.so on your computer using the locate command (after running the updatedb command). If you located this file, just create a symbolic link (using the ln command) on /usr/local/lib/licq pointing to the path of the library you have found.
Good luck.
Maybe when removing the old licq rpm, you have removed also the library you need (/usr/local/lib/licq_qt-gui.so) for the new one.
So, delete the new licq (by running "make uninstall" and "make clean" in the source directory). The redo a ./configure, make and make install...
If that doesn't work, try downloading the rpm of the new licq (from rpmfind.net) and installing it (using rpm -ivh command)...
