How to configure with newer Qt libraries
Hi, I have been trying to compile a couple of applications this morning but both have bombed with a Qt problem. In the case of Quanta 2 beta 4 it reads: checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt <>= Qt 2.2.0 Beta1) (libraries) not found. Please check your installation! The Qt version on my system is 2.2.3. Could anyone advise me on how I can sort this. i presume that I add some sort of conditional statement to the command ./configure! thanks -- Stu "The specification said Windows 95 or better, so I installed Linux"
As root, did you do a link to Qt-2.2.3 ? ln -s /usr/lib/qt-2.2.3 /usr/lib/qt JLK On Sunday 21 January 2001 03:34, Stewart Watson wrote:

As far as I can see the SuSE hierarchy within /usr/lib points to qt 2.2.3 but I tried the link anyway and got the same result on ./configure -- Stu "The specification said Windows 95 or better, so I installed Linux"

Make sure your vars (QTDIR, etc) have the correct path. If they do, then you are running into the same problem I ran into. I even tried to edit ./configure (and its precursors) to make it point specifically to the Qt-2.2.2. (in my case) libs, but to no avail. I got it to compile correctly when I removed KDE1 and Qt-1.4x and all links making those connections, AND changed them to point to qt-2.2.2, and don't forget the vars. Now, I run KDE2 with Qt-2.2.2 and KDE2 runs beautifully. JLK -- Scientific theories, according to Sir Karl Popper, can be "falsified," or proven wrong, by experiment.

Thanks for the pointers Jerry. I am running KDE2.1 beta 1 on Qt 2.2.3 with absolutely no problems. It just seems very strange that the configuration for Quanta demands only Qt 2.2.0 beta 1 libraries rather than the Qt 2.2.x series. I'll try to contact the programme originator and get some help as I am loathe to remove KDE 1 due to the programmes that have not yet made it across to KDE2 -- Stu "The specification said Windows 95 or better, so I installed Linux"
