configure question...

Shalom,

I'm using fedora core 4.
I've tried to use the ./compile in different situations and I get the same error all over again:
could not find X11 libraries.

I used:
./configure --x to include the includes and libraries from
/usr/X11R6/

It didn't work either, what should I do?

Thanks.
A.O

I am not sure about FC4, but in SUSE you need to install special -devel packages if you want to compile with the libraries. In this case it would be the xorg-devel/xfree-devel package.

I am quite new in linux and I'm only trying to install simple things - themes etc.
I am just doing what I've been told in those files (tar) in order to install what I want.
I am learning as I go.

Please care to explain - slow and easy ;o)
(If it works for suse what's with fedora?)

Thanks again,
A.O

you could open a terminal

yum search xorg

it would give a list of packages that contain xorg/are affiliated with it, then look for the development packages and install those

su
"root pass"
yum install "package_you_want"

Fedora generally doesn't install alot of the sources etc.

If you give a bit more information maybe we can help more.

What are the themes for??

I know I'm not much help. But Fedora Core 3 made me so made I threw the DVD out my window into a ravine.

It seems that fedora core doesn't have a lot of development libraries so that one can compile things by his or her self.

I suppose for people who use RPM binaries all the time it's great thought... that's not my style

It has development packages but most are not installed if you didn't select this during installation time. This slims down the size of the installation for those that are not going to need the development libs.

Anyway the package thats required is xorg-x11-devel and to install you'd do as root

Code:

#yum install xorg-x11-devel

I have this message.

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.

What is Qt and I guess that the version that I have is newer then the one needed, am I right?
What do I do now?

Thanks,
A.O

The same problem as with the xorg libraries: you need to install the qt3-devel package!
