hiya,

hopefully some1 can help me out here, i am running drake 10.1 download. i upgraded to kernerl version 2.6.10 due to the issues with the USB mouse, that seems to be working fine now, but here is my problem:

qt. c++ and g++(gmake) cannot be found when i try and compile programs. i can type qtconfig and it executes, gpp = executes and so does cpp, i checked in the rpms and they are all installed...could some 1 please tell what i can do, or how i can fix this....

thanks,

You need to install those. For qt run 'urpmi libqt3-devel' and for g/c++ 'urpmi gcc-c++'

You shouldn't have to install the devel packages. Try reinstalling the regular packages first. The devel packages require an enormous number of dependencies.

Hiya,

thanks for the replies...

Peder:
i tried the urpmi gcc-c++ / libqt3-devel and this is the response that i get - no package named gcc-c++

caladbolg:
i have tried to reinstall qt / cpp - but KDE is heavily dependant on the libs, which is already installed...

any other ideas?

Run

rpmdrake

instead and choose the packages from there...

i did, thats the strange thing, these packages seem to be installed...
but if try and compile the kernel with make gconfig or make qconfig - i get an error that qt and gmake cannot be found.

although, other packages, that has dependencies on them work fine...

If you've tried to manually install QT or these other libs, you may have headers laying around.

In turn the configure/Make scripts will find these, but end up configuring the actual Makefile, to use the location for the non-rpm version while the compiler wants the RPM version.

Also note that there are a few scripts that fail the configure tests, even though you have everything set up.

Usually in this case, the developer is utilizing a far more recent version on his/her machine, than what you have.

hiya,

thanks for the reply, i see what u r saying, and it makes sense, just weird though. i am kinda stuck at the moment, as i cannot install anything. I suppose i will just have to wait, till I reinstall Drake, or a new version gets released, so that i can upgrade...

Thanks again!

To check if g++ and libqt is installed do a 'rpm -q gcc-c++' and 'rpm -q libqt-devel'

If you don't see anything and 'urpmi gcc-c++' and 'urpmi libqt-devel' don't work your urpmi sources
aren't right. If so check out opjoses sig.

And if it can't find gmake make sure you have "make" installed: 'rpm -q make'

You can also run 'make menuconfig' to compile the kernel

hiya,

i did the rpm -q - and the results were the same, it said that the packages are not installed...i will try the urpmi tonight - any ideas where i can find lists of sites?

rpm -q make = its installed!

thanks!

Normally the urpm sources should already be set up by the MDK installation.
If you haven't deleted or tampered with them you can just run the urpmi commands
and it will prompt you to insert the appropriate CD (if you did a CD install. If you
did a network install it should fetch the packages from the net).
Otherwise you can try re-adding them through the mcc.

Hiya,

cyborg_jt · 03-15-2005, 07:47 PM

same problem with you but I have no internet and can't do it

w0und3d · 03-16-2005, 12:24 AM

uhm.....how did u respond to this post then?

have u checked drakrpm - if those packages are installed?
if you could download the rpm's and try to install it manually?

www.rpmfind.net > search for the packages there

maybe that will work...
