We can't help you without an error. Use a copybook or something. Or post from home.

Without knowing the error, did you relogin after installing qt3 or at least source the script at /etc/profile.d? Its the most common cause of errors with such things.

I tried compiling, as it might have proved useful.

First of all, it wanted qt3; Installed & set envieonment variable QTDIR; Then it wanted to find qmake from qt3; put /opt/kde3/bin in the $PATH as first item; then it wanted something else before it would build the tools; then it started building and threw up 10,000 + warnings about sloppy/outdated defines. Then it crapped out on what looks like a C interpetation error "Invalid use of Incomplete type 'struct pdfobjects::CDict"

It seems like you have to go back in time to compile that.

I had no problems building the package pdfedit-0.4.5-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz
on Slackware 13.37 - 64. From post #4 I would guess, that a different
compiler (like gcc34-g++34-3.4.6-x86_64-2compat) should have been used.
But no problems with the default compiler, gcc-g++-4.5.2 .

The package pdfedit-0.4.5-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz can be downloaded here

Must be patched for a later compiler.
Is there a 32 bit version? My big monitor is is on an AthlonXP 32-bit still - trailing edge technology.

Thank you, but once the pkg was installed I get

Code:

pdfedit: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Then I'm using the slackbuild from slackbuilds.org, but I get

Code:

checking for QT qmake... found /usr/lib64/qt/bin/qmake but it failed check
checking for another... found /usr/bin/qmake but it failed check
checking for another... found /usr/bin/qmake but it failed check
checking for another... found /usr/lib64/qt/bin/qmake but it failed check
checking for another... configure: error: unable to find qmake for QT3

It seems like it needs qt3. Since Slackware has qt-4 and not the required qt-3, do I have to install qt-3? If yes, can qt-4 and qt-3 live together?

Yes. Both qt3 and qt4 are installed ( or can be ) on the most Linux OS.
They have unique file names : No conflicts.

( Except qmake : The most common is to have /usr/bin/qmake for qt3.
And if you also have qt4 : /usr/bin/qmake-qt4, which is understood
by the ( most? ) applications.)

Thank you! Great hint
