checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt >= 1.42 (libraries) not found. Please check your installation!

my distro: Fedora Core 2
how can i solve this problem?

The following things are possible:

1) You may not have installed the Qt libs. Try looking for an RPM from www.rpmfind.com or www.rpmseek.com. Alternatively u can try using the package manager. (Run system-config-packages from the "run" command or a terminal). Go to the appropriate section (probably KDE or something). Here you can check if the Qt libs are installed. If necessary u can install them.

2) If the Qt libs are already installed, then the kmid installer/compiler is not able to locate it in the default path. Somehow, you may need to change the path, unfortunately I dont know how. But if u know where the "configure" program is searching for the libs, then u can make symbolic links into this folder.

The best solution, according to me, would be to use RPMs instead of installing from source. U can download RPMs from the sites I have mentioned above. Kmid RPM is probably there in the Fedora CDs.

Note: I'm a newbie myself, so dont blame me if your CPU gets fried.

thanks,akudewan,I find out that qt is in /usr/lib/qt-3.3
but where the "configure" program is searching for the libs, and how can I make symbolic links into the folder?

Make sure that "/usr/lib/qt3.3" is in the file "/etc/ld.so.conf" then, as root, run "ldconfig"

(You may only neeed "/usr/lib" in there, but it seems like that should already be there.

where to run "ldconfig"?
