i am running redhat 7.3 with kde. installed included black box through redhat package manager. bb starts o.k.
downloaded bbconf 1.8 software, put in /home/tmp directory and ran ./configure from shell in kde. seemed to go o.k. until i got the following message:
checking for Qt error Qt )>= Qt 3.0.3 (library qt-mt) not found.

i then rebooted to default logon and ran the above as root, thinking that kde running may have produced the above error.
i got the same error with a new message: Qt should be compiled with thread support.

new to linux, trying to cut the cord from m$, but still having problems installing software and not sure which way to go with this one.
any help is appreciated

Check which version of qt you have:
rpm -q -a|grep qt
and make sure you have qt-devel in version 3.0.3 or above.

Gidday!

I don't know whether RH ships Qt 3.03, and if so, whether RH changed Qt's
installation defaults (which is NOT to compile the library for multi-threading).

If it doesn't (which seems to be the case considering the error message
above), you'll have to ./configure -thread, and make, make install QT
again.
You might want to ./configure --help to see whether Qt offers other
options you might need that aren't installed by default.

HIH.

thanks for the reply tink,
i think i can handle most of those instructions.
i was able to locate a 303 rpm on the net, i may try this. if it doesn't work i will step through that procedure you posted.
have a good one.

Anytime :)

It's fairly easy if you know where to look :)
I was having the same trouble (without the rpm, that is)
when I tried to compile some KDE apps after having
installed QT 3.05 ;)

Good on yah!

I think RedHat 7.3 ships with kde2 whichs needs QT 2.x.x. Kde3 uses QT 3.x.x and they are not binary compatable. If you are using kde2 apps you will need to upgrade to kde3 apps.
