By the way - Just put through a donation!

(first donation was declined - but the second went through $60)

Thanks for all the help so far!

Somehow you ended up with two versions of qt. I suggest you run

Code:

#rpm -qa | grep -i qt

A list of packages will be printed out. Uninstall all the qt packages using "rpm -e --nodeps qt-version (version as printed in the results you get after running the commands above)". After that reinstall qt by doing "yum install qt qt-devel".

Thanks for the kind gesture. It certainly will be put to good use.

Thats what I have now... so only 1 version of Qt.
However I get this issue...

I do have the devel package installed...

What package are you trying to install (and the version)?

neester · 06-05-2006, 08:55 PM

Well - I ahve a bunch of apps and themes I downloaded from kde-look.org and kde-apps.org.

I downloaded the source packages and want to install them myself...
Some did have fedora builds - but I want to learn more about linux and how to install stuff.
Still studying engineering so this is all helping me a lot!!!

Thanks for all the help mate!

Usually when I compile KDE apps or themes I do,

Code:

$./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix`

I've just had a thought. Are you using a 64 bit version of Fedora Core. If so, try doing

Code:

$./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` --enable-libsuffix=64

neester · 06-05-2006, 09:20 PM

Hmm - im not running 64 bit.

I still get that Qt error.

Very weird... from what I can tell, it seems to think I dont have the headers installed for the right version.
But I do...

Could it be to do with the AT rpms again?

(btw what are AT rpms and why are they bad to use?)

neester · 06-05-2006, 10:56 PM

Ok.
Update!

I found this site with a similar problem.
There was a suggestion:

Quote:

ry searching for the header manually:

Quote:

Code:
find /usr/include/. -name "qt.h"
find /usr/lib/. -name "qt.h"

Then you can manually pass the prefix to ./configure using --with-qt-prefix=. For instance, if you get a result at /usr/lib/./qt/include/qt.h, then the prefix is /usr/lib/qt.

I did this and it worked!
Now I get this error:

Quote:

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!

I was reading this thread and saw your final error message, which I googled. This may be of interest:

Although this is for clamav antivirus, here's a quote from the above link:

Quote:

No KDE headers

You get the message:

installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!

You need to install the kde-devel package for your distribution.

This problem I am really unfamiliar with, but thought I would share what I found.

neester · 06-05-2006, 11:54 PM

After more fiddling.

Installing kdelibs-devel and kdeutils-devel
I had to first remove and re-install libgcrypt and libgpg-error

neester · 06-06-2006, 12:04 AM

YES!

That all worked!

wow, learnt something new today!
Thanks to everyone! (espec reddazz)
