Installing QTStalker


For my 64th birthday my son just gave me a desktop computer, but now I do not know how to follow the detailed instructions for installing QTSTALKER: Sorry I realise its probably so simple but where do I find
----your shell QTDIR environment----- etc?
I have unbutu 9.10.
These are the instructions that have me confused.

For Linux users:
Check to make sure you have your shell QTDIR environment variable set to point to the location of the root Qt directory. This setting is usually something like this: 'export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt' or something similar to this. Failure to set this properly will result in make errors.
Unpack the Qtstalker source.
./configure (this will create the Makefile)
make
make install (as root)
the executable 'qtstalker' will be copied to the /usr/bin directory
the plugins will be copied to /usr/lib/qtstalker directory
the docs will be copied to /usr/share/doc/qtstalker/html directory (toc.html for the table of contents)
the translation files will be copied to /usr/share/qtstalker/i18n directory
Thats it.

Oh my life was so quite in my little caravan, now I'm going greyer by the second!

If you have read this far, may I wish you a very Happy New year.
wishes
John

Open a terminal window, and run thge set command. You should see a line similar to the following:
Code:
QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt4
You may have to scroll up to see this line. On my system, all shell environment entries are listed in alphabetical order. If you have the qt libraries installed, this line should exist. If it does not, you will have to install the qt libraries. You can use your distributionś package manager to do so if needed.

HTH,
