Need help telling a configure file that I have qt3 installed


Hi,

I'm trying to install kompose 0.0.1 and one of the requirements are >= qt 2.2.3. I have some version of qt 3 installed.

Anyway, I tried messing with the configure file by putting in the directory of qt (/usr/lib/qt3) and the ./configure file still doesn't think qt is installed. $QTDIR = /usr/lib/qt3

Does anyone know how to fix these sorts of problems?

Thanks,
diode

I guess that ./configure does not have an option to pass the qt location.
You can create a symlink to /usr/lib/qt:
Code:
ln -s /usr/lib/qt3 /usr/lib/qt
Also set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the qt install dir before running ./configure:
Code:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/qt:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./configure --options
