Need help with Qt upgrade from 3.8.0 to 4.3.4

KrazyKanuk · 03-14-2008, 11:53 PM

I have upgraded my Qt from version 3.8.0 to 4.3.4 for an application that I want to install needs it. All seemed to go well finished and rebooted, and it worked fine for the root user. I try it with a normal user and it don't work it a permission error. I can get it to work if I add the user to the root user group but for obvious reasons I dont want every user in this group at this time it not such a big deal there is only 2 users on the system (root & 1 other user). I know the /usr/local/Trolltech/* is owned by user/group root with permissions drwxr-x--- not really sure how to solve this other then changing group permissions to include write permission and not sure that would even solve the problem. The second problem is I am trying to install Mixxx and I keep getting the following 2 errors

Code:

Checking for QtCore (4.3 or higher)...  no
QT >= 4.3 not found.

even when I supply the directory I get this error. If I do

Code:

qmake --version
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.3.4 in /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.4/lib

So with this I believe I using right version but it still fails saying I am not using QtCore of 4.3 or above. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Tell us what other output is in the config.log around the place where the failure occurs.

OK in the config.log file the error is at the end of the file and it is as follows

Code:

scons: Configure: Checking for QtCore (4.3 or higher)...
pkg-config --atleast-version=4.3 'QtCore'
scons: Configure: no

Not sure if there anything else in the log file of importance so I have included it.

Code:

A couple of comments:

Perhaps when you compiled and installed into /usr/local, you forgot to ensure that the pkg-config files were visible to pkg-config. Search your system (with e.g., locate) for a file named “QtCore.pc” and ensure that PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set so it the above file will be found.
Your config.log continually uses the linker option “-L/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.4/lib/lib”. I am not sure, but I don’t think the extra “lib” should be there. Perhaps QT_DIR is misset (and perhaps this relates to your first problem).

I found a website (seemed to be a reply to an email) that suggested editing the mixxx/src/SConscript file to what this website suggested (which included the path minus the /lib as you suggested) and it passed the point where it was telling me that Qt was not greater then 4.3. But it also produced many new errors. I thank you for your help it was much appreciated, unfortunately the system belonged to someone else in the house and me getting this fixed was not quick enough for him and he formatted the drive put Windows XP on the one drive (master drive) and will be putting another distribution of Linux on the second drive (slave drive), at which time it be up to him to do this it not worth it to me to waste my time getting things fixed for him to formatted it on me without any notice. I will stick with my Linux system and fixing my problems.

chmod -R u=rwX,go=rX /usr/local/Trolltech

Does that help?

Cheers,
