[SuSE Linux] installing QT ver. 1.41
I want to play around with X programming and thought I would try Qt. I discovered that there is a more recent version available -- 1.41. I have completed step 1 in the installation instructions (gunzip ... tar ..., etc.) Now I come to step 2: "Set some environment variables in .profile or .login, depending on your shell." It then lists six variables. I realize that this is a less than brilliant question, but I can't find the answer in the manual: How do you set an environment variable? More specifically, how do you set up Linux so that the environmental variables are set when you boot the OS? One of the variables (PATH) is supposed to "locate the moc program". What is the "moc" program? If I install ver. 1.41, is it going to screw up any other programs, like KDE? If these answers can be found in the manual, just a page reference would be great. Thanks. --Stephen S. Ashley - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Read the file called 'INSTALL'. It tells you how to set the variables. If you just open it with less and do a word search, e.g., type '/.profile'. etc. at the console you'll see the section on setting env vars for bash, ksh, zsh, and sh. The INSTALL, README, FAQ, etc that come with qt are your friend.... -M - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
Thank you for your suggestions. As my original message stated, however, my confusion arose from reading the friendly files in QT, especially the INSTALL file. Fortunately, other responses explained how to set an environment variable, and I have solved that part of the problem. --SSA Michael Johnson wrote:
