please help me I'm in dependency hell
 

Hello---

I'm in dependency hell now. Please tell me how I can fix this.
Here is my take on what has happened so far. Please feel free to correct me.

I want to install qdvdauthor
http://qdvdauthor.sourceforge.net

the ./configure yields this :

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+**+*+*+*+
*+*+ Please wait while building configurator +*+
*+*+ your graphical configuration application +*+
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+**+*+*+*+
qt
************************************************
** Error, could not find moc. **
** **
** Please make sure your PATH environment **
** is set correctly. **
************************************************

but find / -name moc doesn't give any results. maybe I don't have moc on my system ?

I read that my version of qt is too old :

(am I totally wrong and qt is only for Kde and I'm running gnome ?)

[root@yoruban baronsam]# rpm -q qt
qt-3.1.1-6

so I try this :

[root@yoruban baronsam]# rpm -ivh qt-3.3.3-8.i386.rpm
warning: qt-3.3.3-8.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2
error: Failed dependencies:
/etc/ld.so.conf.d is needed by qt-3.3.3-8
libXinerama.so.1 is needed by qt-3.3.3-8
libstdc++.so.6 is needed by qt-3.3.3-8
libstdc++.so.6(CXXABI_1.3) is needed by qt-3.3.3-8
libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4) is needed by qt-3.3.3-8

so I figure I need a newer version of glibc :

[root@yoruban baronsam]# rpm -U glibc-2.3.4-0.20040318.1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
glibc-misc = 6:2.3.4-0.20040318.1 is needed by glibc-2.3.4-0.20040318.1
glibc = 2.3.2 is needed by (installed) glibc-devel-2.3.2-27.9.7
/usr/bin/getent is needed by (installed) stunnel-4.04-3

so maybe with an older version :

[root@yoruban baronsam]# rpm -U glibc-2.3.3-58.chk.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
glibc-common = 2.3.3-58.chk is needed by glibc-2.3.3-58.chk

libc.so.6(GLIBC_PRIVATE) is needed by (installed) nscd-2.3.2-27.9.7
glibc = 2.3.2 is needed by (installed) glibc-devel-2.3.2-27.9.7

even worse ! I'm stuck !

So anybody who could tell me where to find moc, or what I'm doing wrong, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much,

why dont u use a package manager (like apt , urpmi , yum , ....)?

what distro are u using ?

you could try installing this:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/...ces/moc/2.0.1/

Thanks for answering !

I'm using redhat 9

I don't know if it includes a package manager, I know it doesn't include yum.

Which package manager would you recommend ?

Thanks,

--Sam

I've installed yum, we'll see how it works out.

Thank you both for your help.

u could use yum
there is apt for redhat but i think yum will be better for redhat
