Ok here's the deal... Whenever I try to run ./configure with a program that requires QT, in this case kdegiFT, I get all these parse errors in the config.log file and the configure script tells me:

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.1 (20021021)) (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!

I've got v. 3.12 of pacakges qt, libqt3, libqt3-devel, and libqt3-common installed on my mandrake 9.1 system. I don't know what the deal is... I've included the relevant part from the kdegiFT config.log file:

It goes on like that... with the parse error's and such... if you need more to help let me know and I'll forward it to you... Thanks for your help

Hi,

looks like you haven't installed the header files of qt-mt ...

cu

ok I'm pretty sure these are the qt-mt headers because I have libqt-mt.so listed in my /usr/lib/qt3/lib directory... Could it be my c++ compiler. I currently am using gcc 2.96... but I think mandrake 9.1 comes standard with 3.2.2
thanks

Hi,

you need the header (.h) files to compile an application

cu

yeah, I know. The .h files are where they should be in /usr/lib/qt3/include/... I just mentioned the .so file to make sure you knew I had qt-mt installed vs. the single threaded version... anymore help you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks

also just wanted to clarify. The configure script finds the .h files ok... I can't find any point where it says file not found... it used to but I made some changes to get it to find the files before I made the original post. The problems seems to be in compiling them. I get multiple parse errors and the such which suggest a compiler problem to me, but I've tried gcc 2.96, 3.2.2, and 3.3 and all return the same errors. Once again thanks for the help.

Hi,

paste the errors here

cu

Read my first post... that's an excerpt from a really long list of errors in config.log. As you can see thought if finds the header files it just can't compile them without errors... I am slowly beginning to think qt was created just to bother me.
