I did a search of people who asked the same question.........

Which distro..............

freakyg... he wasn't asking anoth 'what distro should I use' question.. he was asking a rather specific question.. he needs something that is going to meet or exceed those requirements...

brunog, I assume anything relatively recent should be fine. Those versions of gcc and qt readily available in any distro that is fairly current. Being that it requires Qt, you probably want a distro that defaults to KDE... SUSE is a good choice.

thanks for info, i ended just downloading and using fedora 4 worked great. well the program installed still gotta learn how to use it
