whenever i try some software based on qt from trolltech
i get messages there is no qt installed but there is.

i run redhat 9
i have qt 3.1.1 installed.

i have tried to update to 3.3.2 but this says i need x11

can someone help me out please!

You may need to set up the QTDIR environment variable to tell your new software where to find qt. Put something like this before your install command:Some more information would be useful here. Are you installing qt programs from source or through RPMs?

You can't install qt without X11 as far as I am aware; again, are you trying to install from source or RPMs?

You can pass the --nodeps flag to RPM when --install–ing or --upgrading something if you are sure that you actually do have the dependencies installed (probably not from an RPM).

Hope that's of some help,

Yum tells me that the latest version of qt is installed whoever i found on the trolltech website there's a later version 3.3.2 wich i reccon could be the problem.

I've downloaded that one and ./configured

and put all the statements for pointing to the qt dir in .bash_profile like the install file told me to.

This all seems to run fine up till here

now i run
make

And there is where it all goes wrong.

cannot find x11 that directory does not exist.


The rpm's on redhats cd tells me it's allready installed.

This is my guess;
I think i have to change the things i put in .bash_profile to point to the rpm installed by the redhat cd to get things working.

How can i find out where the original 3.1.1 is installed?

The only thing in /usr/local/qt i put there myself being the downloaded newest version.
Trolltech website tells me i probably do not need it (the newest) when i only want to use it to compile applications developped with qt . (wich i want)

Some thoughts:

To find out where the original QT was installed, you can run (assuming that the package name was “qt”; if not try “qt-devel” etc.)

After putting things in .bash_profile, you will need to log in again before the changes will take effect; .bash_profile is only checked for each session when you log in.

To tell it where x11 is installed, you will need to pass an option to configure like [code]./configure --with-x11=/usr/X11R6/[/root]; try to get more configure options. You could also try if you don't have X-windows installed.

Hope that's of some help,
