Everything you need is on your S.u.S.E. discs. Don't get pissed at linux because you neglected to install some package that you probably have on cd. You are new to linux, and in time this won't be a problem for you. I _never_ have a compile fail due to a missing dependency. For one thing, 9/10 times you can avoid your situation if you read the documentation of the package you are trying to compile. If this seems like too much work, then by all means stick with rpms. Rpm is designed to take the pain out of the equation for new users.

Are there any rpms for qt 1.40 for Suse 5.2 yet?
I've tried to compile the source and get errors after about 10 minutes into make.
Someone better step up and lay out standard libraries for diff. linux distro's or else linux is bound to fail. ( as a newbie to linux<about two monthes> i'm already disgusted with every program asking for a trip to the ftp world for another lib file.)
I'd like to see distributions let you upload your source and config file.......compile your binary and send it back to you.
Maybe i'm just wishing for to much from linux...but joe smo will NEVER download a new lib everytime he wants to try out a new program.

I went to the Caldera FTP site and downloaded their RPM's for QT 1.40, then installed them (using YaST) without any problems. Caldera has not gone to glibc6 yet. No compiling was necessary. They were already in binary format, I guess. ------------------------------------------- Man's mind is his basic tool of survival!
