Hi all,

I downloaded the new test kernel from kernel.org, uncompressed it, did make mrproper, then when I tryed make xconfig I get an error saying that some file is missing. Has anyone else had this problem and how did they fix it?

p.s.
I tryed to posted a LinuxAnswer last week and it still has not been put on the list. (did not want to write a second post

.

Thank You,
and I will post the error in a few hours, I'm away from my Linux Box at the moment

The new xconfig uses Qt so you need Qt to be installed. You might also need to set your QTDIR environment variable to the place where Qt is installed.

What is QT? Where do I get it? How do I install it? I'm still a newbie, but arn't we all.

instead of xconfig, do gconfig.

QT is a widely used library for programming graphical user interfaces. It is used by all of the KDE applications in particular.

You probably already have the library itself installed but you need the development files (headers mainly). I believe the paclage name for the RedHat RPM you need to install is qt-devel.

where do I get it from (the rpm)

You should have it on the RedHat CD's.
