Hi Udo Thanks for you comments. I'm using Suse 8.1, Kernel 2.4.19, kde 3.2, xf86 4.2, qt3 3.3.0. everything is generally running very well. I've not tried upgrading the kernel or Xfree. should I do that? rpm -q reports that qt3, qt3-devel and qt3-non-mt are all installed. However, I note that the missing library qt-mt mentioned in my initial mail is not found. I'm trying to compile LabPlot 1.2.3 http://staff.mbi-berlin.de/gerlach/Linux/LabPlot/ found on kde-apps.org website. Everything does seem to be more or less as it should be so I still do understand why it isn't compiling. Any other thoughts? John On Friday 27 Feb 2004 15:23, udo wrote:
Hmm, I am running Suse 8.1 as well. Configureation: Kernel 2.6.3, Kde 3.2.0, XFree 4.3, Qt3-3.3.0 All is running sooth and fine.
You need to have qt3, qt3-devel and qt3-non-mt installed. That's all. And do not forget to run SuSEconfig.
Did you check with rpm -q that the qt3 rpms are really available on your box?
What sources are you trying to compile ?
By the way: libkdenetwork is included in kdepim..
Regards, Udo

Dear All Occasionally I have tried to compile various programs which are not available as rpm's for SuSE8.1. However, it rarely meets with success due to ./configure not finding the qt libraries. The following is typical output at the end of running configure:
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0) (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 recall someone on this mailing list saying that it was essential to install all of the -devlop packages and more as per the list on http://www.suse.co.uk/uk/private/download/linuks/i386/update_for_8_1/deve l. html. I have installed all of these and everything related to qt3 but to not avail. I have also added configure options such as --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt3 etc but that also makes no difference.
I'm sure there must be a very simple answer but I can't find it. Can anyone offer some explanation or hints about what I could try.
Incidently I've updatee to kde3.2 or as much as is available for SuSE 8.1 on the apt website using synaptic (the kdenetwork related updates don't yet seem to be available.
Thanks John Satherley
