hi
when I tried to configure a package for kde I got this error....I searched google but none seems to have the answer. where do I get this QT 3.3 or qt-mt and how do I install it?

thanx in advance
Boomba,

I'm not sure what version redhat 9 would include, but you will more than likely already have some version of qt3 insatlled. in that case, install qt-devel-3.3.3.rpm (or similar name) from your distro cd's. if you need to get a newer version (you can run "rpm -qv qt" to see what versions of qt are installed) then just go somewhere like rpm.pbone.net for updates, or update via apt-get if you use it.

i have qt version 3.1.1-6 and no matter what rpm i try to install for qt (whether it be 3.2 or 3.3) , I always get "Failed dependecies" similair to the ones above. How do I solve this? I wanted to install QT so i can install KDE 3.2.

these failed dependecies are inacurate and even when I update them it still complains.

thanx in advance,
Boomba

I have the same problem and I had it before. Now I don't know how to solve it but it is something like I found in the Install instruction file from LICQ plugins. The problem is that you had installed older version of QT before and in the /etc/ld.so.conf linux finds first the older Qt than that new installed. So you have to remove that old one and install the new one. or try to make that linux find as first that newly installed Qt. Don't know how but when I will find it will let you know.

good luck

this is copied from that LICQ Install file
If you get errors like

Unable to load plugin (qt-gui): /usr/lib/licq/licq_qt-gui.so:
+undefined symbol: dragEnterEvent__14QMultiLineEditP15QDragEnterEvent.

or similiar (text after "undefined symbol: " might vary) then you have
a older Qt 2.x lib in the paths given in /etc/ld.so.conf. uninstall them or
make sure that the Qt 3.x lib is found first.

to make it find the new one first (assuming you have two installed) you have to manipulate the library path manually. however, this is not the way to go ( not good). you need to upgrade your qt to AT LEAST 3.3 (3.2 will not work). try:

rpm -Uvh <rpm> to upgrade instead of install the qt rpm. While I'm not recommending the following, if you uninstall the old qt and want to install the new qt but it complains about dependencies and you absolutely KNOW that you have what it needs, you could pass the --nodeps flag to rpm (rpm --nodeps <rpm>) to disable dependency checking and also if rpm complains about conflicting files you could pass the --force flag. As I said above, I'm not recommending this (but then again I don't recommend rpm's either )
