Qt QuiTing. Seriously, compiling problem with QT


Despite the fact that Synaptic reports that I have qt version 1:3.3.3-8 (and qt-devel with the same version number)on my fedora core 3 system, when I ./configure I get:
configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.2) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!

and rpm -q qt3 returns:
warning: cannot get shared lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages
package qt3 is not installed

I think it important to note that I do have /usr/lib/qt-3.3

What can I do?

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps its looking for the mt libs? ( /usr/lib/libqt-mt.la )

Also try setting the QTDIR and/or the --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt-3.3 in configure.

ldconfig -v | grep qt

rpm -qa | grep -i qt

Also, which product are you trying to compile?
Maybe the ./configure script has an issue with
its version-check in this case...


Cheers,
Tink

Leonscape,
Ah, exacly how? IŽd love to try it but when exactly do I make the change?

Tinkster,
I have tried several programs, they all end in this. The two current ones are kimdaba and kphotobook. I entered what you had written, and tried again, and got this (of course this is just the end of a long stack):

checking for Qt... libraries /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib, headers /usr/lib/qt-3.3/include using -mt
checking for moc... /usr/lib/qt-3.3/bin/moc
checking for uic... /usr/lib/qt-3.3/bin/uic
checking whether uic supports -L ... yes
checking whether uic supports -nounload ... yes
checking if Qt needs -ljpeg... no
checking for rpath... yes
checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!

So, weŽve made progress. According to a quick search on google, this is fixed by installing kdelibs-devel RPM. So that is what Synaptic is doing while I type this. Lets see...

What I was talking about was
xport QTDIR /usr/lib/qt-3.3

or

./configure --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt-3.3

But this problem is already solved, since your now past that point.
