Hi, I'm using SuSE 8.0 pro with Kde3. I'm trying to install a tarball, but the ./configure claims there is a Qt error: checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation! Anybody have a tip on this? Do I have the wrong version of Qt, or...? How to check this? And if I have to update the Qt, is this possible without problems? Regards, Thomas

export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt SuSE eats your environment variable sometimes, so don't bother putting that in /etc/profile.local. You can put it in your ~/.bashrc, but if you start getting fancy with multiple QT installs, you may end up cursing.

The qt-devel packages provide the headers and libraries, which aren't installed by default with SuSE (not 8.1, anyway.) I had problems running ./configure when installing a few programs until I installed the qt-devel RPM through YaST/YOU. Without the headers, some programs don't know where/how to access the QT libs. Or something. Install it and the ./configure script ought to stop complaining. On Wed, 2003-04-02 at 12:23, Carlos E. R. wrote:

Maybe you need the qt*-devel package.

Hi I want to Thank You all who have contributed me on this matter. I had to install the qt-devel and the kde3-devel as well to make it work. Regards, Thomas

*No* program knows how to use a given library without the headers. You might regard headers as a kind of map to what a library provides, or like a language guide that tells you how to talk to a library. Philipp -- Philipp Thomas work: pthomas@suse.de Development SuSE Linux AG private: pth@t-link.de

*No* program knows how to use a given library without the headers. You might regard headers as a kind of map to what a library provides, or like a language guide that tells you how to talk to a library. The header files contain the prototypes for the functions, constants and data structures in QT. The library locations are normally set up when you link-edit the program, using the -L and -l(lower case L) flags. The -L is used when the library is in a non-standard location. /etc/ld.so.conf is a list of library locations. The "standard" locations are /lib and /usr/lib.
