(-)Ions · 02-19-2005, 09:16 AM

Hey, i need to install a later qt version that my current (3.1.2-14.2) for amaroK (using Fedora Core 1), so i download qt-3.3.3-0.1.i386.rpm.. and get

Code:

error: Failed dependencies:
        libXinerama.so.1 is needed by qt-3.3.3-0.1

which is found in xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-1.i386.rpm, try to install that and get

Code:

error: Failed dependencies:
        libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4) is needed by xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-1

which obviosly is found in glibc-2.3.4, try to install that and get...

Code:

error: Failed dependencies:
        glibc-common = 2.3.4-10 is needed by glibc-2.3.4-10
        shadow-utils < 2:4.0.3-20 conflicts with glibc-2.3.4-10
        nscd < 2.3.3-52 conflicts with glibc-2.3.4-10

now, im not sure what 2 do about the 2 conflics there, but when i try 2 install glibc-common, i get

Code:

error: Failed dependencies:
        glibc < 2.3.4 conflicts with glibc-common-2.3.4-10

if at a miss

where did you get these RPM's from? you should stick to official fedora RPM's for somethign as critical as glibc, unless you really know what you're doing. in your final entry above you can see how two differently named package are conflicting, which is because different distro's will split a potentially single package into a number of parts, ie.g. the -common package's existance.

apt generally does a fair deal better than yum, so you might want to try some apt repositories, e.g atrpms.net which should include a newer glibc specifically for fedora core1.

alternatively, if you just want to get amarok going, i bet you could just install it from source and it won't care what version of qt3 you have...

...and the reason RPM's suck suddenly becomes clear.

Install Qt from source...then you can disable Xinerama support if you don't need it.

k, i installed qt 3.3.4 but when ido ./configure amaroK it still thinks i have 3.1

Code:

Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.2) (library qt-mt) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support!

did you export the proper environmental variables and compile qt with thread support ( and add the path to the libs in /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig)?

yer i read sumwhere that it default with mt (obviously not) k now im getting..

configure: error: The important program kconfig_compiler was not found!
Please check whether you installed KDE correctly.

im the middle of a google hunt, but as of yet no luck, cant find much. im running kde 3.1 so i guess updating it would be good.. that of which im not sure how 2 do *searching begins*
