hi,

I downloaded the newest kopete (kde multiprotocol messenger) ad II extracted it fromt he tarball successfully and then I types the "./configure" command..I get a long list of messages while it checks things and then it ends on the following error:

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.1 (20021021)) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!

what does this mean?..my "make" command wont work and I'm assumming its because of this error I tried redownloading it but I get the same problem..am i missing something

i'm using redhat 9

please let me know what i'm doing wrong

thanx in advance,
Boobma

That's means what it says You've to install the QT libraries and -devel packages in order to install kopete. Those libraries are surely shipped within your Redhat CD's

ok I did wha you said..I went to the add/remove and found it..and I selected it...but hwen I click "update" it give sme this error:

The following packages could not be found on your system

kdelibs
kdebase
kdegraphics

i'm using kde so why arent those being found on my computer?..is it because I have to install these things seperatly..or are they on the RH9 cd too?

thanx in advance,
Boomba

Indeed you need to install those first.

Regards

but I have them installed appearently..otherwise I wouldnt be able to use kde right?..anways when I use apt to downlaod and install them it says I have the latest version of them so they are installed..is there somthing I'm missing?

thanx in advance
Boomba,

does anyone have any suggestions I'm still stuck ont his one..I'm unsure as to why I ca't install the QT off the RH cd if I already have what it says it requires

have you tried . /configure --prefix=/usr
or any prefix where kde is installed?
to know this type: which konqueror
and the result is the path where it is

hope this helps

sorry it didnt work.. any other suggestions?

thanx in advance,
boomba

if ur using apt then have u tried
apt-get install libqt3-mt-dev

and

apt-get install libqt3-headers

neither work..sorry hehe weird situation..any other suggestions?

thanx in advance
Boomba,

Boomba,
Did you ever find a reasonable solution to this problem? I am facing the same situation, and I have re-installed and compiled and yummed and everything. Nothing works. Not that I really have a huge affinity for kopete, just the fact that it won't install makes me want to install it. If you have any advice, please pass it on to me.

Thanks,
Sick
