Hello all,

Im new to linux (Suse 8.2 personal) (3days lol) and i try today to install my first program (kopete). Right from the start when i typed ./configure i had problems. Libz problems, qt problems, X problems i battled them all and won finally lol. But now im facing my next problem it now says :

checking for libpng... -lpng -lz -lm
checking for libjpeg6b... no
checking for libjpeg... -ljpeg
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for 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!

In the config.log it says this about the problem :

conftest.cc:8:2: #error 1
configure:29041: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
#include "confdefs.h"
#include <qglobal.h>
#include <qapplication.h>
#include <qcursor.h>
#include <qstylefactory.h>
#include <private/qucomextra_p.h>
#if ! (QT_VERSION >= 0x030200)
#error 1
#endif

int main() {
(void)QStyleFactory::create(QString::null);
QCursor c(Qt::WhatsThisCursor);
return 0;
}
configure:29081: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.2) (library qt-mt) not found

I installed all libz, devel and qt packages from cd and im still googling to find the solution. Now 2,5 hours ago since i tryed to install kopete it is still not installed but i feel im getting closer . I really have no idea how to solve this problem or what the problem means i hope one of you guys can help me solving it cause im really breaking my head over this one. (In the meantime i keep googling)

Any help is very much appreciated.

Try a
grep -i qt `rpm -qa`

and see what version (if any) of Qt you have.

hi,

rpm -qa shows : qt3-non-mt-3.1.1-65 and
qt3-devel-3.1.1-62 and qt3-3.1.1-118

but when i do : grep -i qt nothing happens.

Try again :)

Copy & paste this
And as you probably already noticed your
version of Qt is a) too old and b) compiled
without multi-threading support.

Ok so if im right i have to do the following things now. 1.Download a new version of qt and 2.Install it and compile it with thread support. And then it should all work good..

Am i right? Or is that possible? Do i need qt 3.2 or 3.3?

and if i copy paste the hole line "grep -i qt `rpm -qa`" i get this :

grep: ghostscript-fonts-other-7.05.6-23: Unknown map or file
grep: ispell-american-3.2.06-266: Unknown map or file
grep: ispell-british-3.2.06-266: Unkown map.........Etc...

and if i do only grep -i qt nothing happens....

Anyway.. Thanx for helping me please tell me what to do now.

Ugh - I was having a "bad hair day" or something.

Try "rpm -qa | grep -i qt" :}


Check on rpmfind.net whether there's newer Qt's
available for your version of SuSE before installing
from source... with RPM you're almost bound to break
something when upgrading an individual package
from source ...

yo,

Yes now the qt command says :

qt3-non-mt-3.1.1-125
qt3-3.1.1-118
yast2-qt-2.7.18-6
qt3-devel-3.1.1-62

I did a search on www.rpmfind.net and for the suse linux distribution it found nothing but old qt packages but no 3.3 for suse. Im getting a little confused in here does this means cause my qt package is not good i will be never be able to install any software at all? Cant i just install the basic qt package : "qt-x11-free-3.3.3.tar.gz". or will my linux crash? I try to install it in /usr/local/qt but when i try linux says acces denied i cant make any folder in there.... Pls help me out

Thanx for helping

Your linux won't crash ... the only problem you'll
be facing is that there will be a discrepancy between
what's actually installed and what your RPM database
thinks is installed ... ideally you will want to examine
the SuSE 8.2 source rpm package, layout the newer
version of Qt as SuSE has with theirs, compile the
new package, use some sort of rpm-tool to create an
RPM of the newer version of Qt and then use rpm to
install/upgrade the current one.
