Slackware 12.0.
Trying to install kmymoney2 from .bz2. Unzip ok with tar. Following README instructions for configure which asks locations for KDE and qt3, suggests locations relating to 10.0. (\usr/share for qt3 and \. for KDE) <Regret can't post readme file here or quote verbatim as same computer has intermittent network problems and won't mount removable drive correctly at present. I doubt it's anything serious>.

These locations result in message after partially successful configure "unable to locate library qt-mt, did you compile qt with thread support?"

Well, I have qt3 in package list and can locate LOTS of qt3 files including lib qt stuff, have changed configure command to include usr/lib and usr/doc but I sense I'm still wide of the mark and my best guess is that 12.0 requires something different.

Has anyone else experienced this?

BTW having read previous posts I agree that the tar command is what's needed for handling the bz files, although the Slackbook suggests explode and it's also possible to unzip with a right mouse click.

I really like Slack as an OS, it's fast to boot and use even on an old processor- so I'll keep it on. But as I like experimenting with packages I feel it's a bit time consuming so I think I'm being pushed back in the Debian direction.

Any suggestions on the problem or comments on the above will be very welcome- Phil

Shouldnt u set qt path like this:?
user $ whereis qt
/usr/lib/qt

slackware is the best linux-based system ever seen... however
