Angry Slackware 10.1 & Opera 7.54 ???


I just installed slack 10.1 and tried to install Opera 7.54. All went fine during the install of Opera, the only problem I have is that it won't start. It gives me this message:
Code:
/usr/lib/opera/7.54-20040803.2/opera: error while loading shared libraries: libqt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I found out that the libqt.so.3 is now called libqt-mt.so.3 so I made a symlink to it in the same folder libqt-mt.so.3 was (/usr/lib/qt-3.3.3/lib) and still no response.

Anyone has this problem ? Anyone got any ideea on how to solve it ?

Opera worked in 10 but nothing in 10.1

How did you install it?

If you used slackware 10.0 packages (from linuxpackages for example) then the problem may be that the package was compiled with a different set of libraries (or ones with different names ) than what is currently on your system. You will need to either wait for a 10.1 package to show up, or roll your own.

If you compiled from source, then you may need to add extra parameters to the ./configure command to tell it where to look. Read the output of ./configure --help for a list of options.

Thats all I have to add as I do not use Opera.

Good luck.

That may not be the problem. I checked the slackware package browser

http://www.slackware.org/pb/searchfi...ng=+libqt&w=on

and the "missing" lib was not in 10.0 either (at least not by that name). Any other dependencies listed on the Opera site?

I just checked out the Opera site and, unless I'm mistaken, there is no slack build for anything later that 9.1 (it does say current as well, but that may be a very early current after the 9.1 release - early pre 10.0)

This is likely why it won't work anymore.
