[SOLVED] Qcad and libqt

Wed · 03-10-2010, 10:05 AM

I have installed Qcad from Ribbonsoft. Upon starting it from terminal it complains about

Quote:

$ qcad
qcad: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

From this thread I found a possible solution, getting qt3 from the kde-compat directory.

But Qcad still says the same thing. Is there any other way to get the lib into the system, or make the software, aware of it's existence?

Works for me here. I'm running x86_64 (multilib).
I also have kdelibs3-3.5.10-x86_64-opt1 installed. Did you try running ldconfig?

I made a full install, so kdelibs is also there. But no, I haven't run ldconfig. I'll give it a whirl though.

Just to clarify... there are two different packages.. kdelibs and kdelibs3 also qt3.

The kde3 compatibility stuff is all found in /extra/kde3-compat

By default the packages in extra are not installed when selecting a "Full Install"

Thanks for pointing that out. I would have missed it entirely. Will try that next time I get to the machine.

Yep, that did the trick. I didn't need to run ldconfig. Installing the package was enough. The language choices aren't there, but it defaults to English which is my preference anyway, so I'm happy.
