Qt causing problems

[samfrimp]

I've been trying to install Superkaramba and/or the GTK-Qt theme engine under FC3-64 but during the configure process, I get the following error:

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0) (library qt-mt) not found.

I do actually have the latest version of Qt installed (3.3.4) so I suspect there's a path problem due to x86-64 file locations or something of the kind. NB: this is an up-to-date "everything" install of FC3 on a Asus K8V-X with 1024mb of ram and an AMD 64 3200+.

I also tried using the Superkaramba rpm found at pbone but get the following error when starting Superkaramba:

superkaramba: error while loading shared libraries: libxmms.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Googling has been spotty at best so I turn here. Hopefully some kind soul can help. I'm not a complete newb but sometimes these things get the better of me.

Have you looked in the log written by ./configure to see the details of where it was looking?

The end of config.log looks like this:

We need a little more of the log than that. The log usually prints the error and then the program that caused it. What you showed looked like the end of the program that caused the error. Above this should be what the error was.

OK, here's some more (the whole thing will not fit in the allowed space for a posting here). Seems confdefs.h is a problem so I've grabbed some of the information from the logfile showing an error or two and the confdefs.h section of the log. Hope this means something to someone.

What your excerpt of the logs shows is
A program that failed
An error
The program that caused the above error.

So we are not seeing the first error in the process.

The error that we do see is:

usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt-mt

This means that the compiler expected to find a file called "libqt-mt.*" somewhere.
On my FC3 32 bit install of fedora, I have it in
/usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so
If you can't find the file with the command:
locate libqt-mt.so
You should goto www.pbone.net and see which package in FC3 contains libqt-mt and install that package.
If you do have the file, you must figure out what path the configure is using to hunt for the file. As far as I know no experts on how to do this have some forth in the forum! Is the source code for this app one-size-fits-all for both 32 and 64 bit machines? If so, it may have trouble finding the 64 bit libraries. See if the configure script defines the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable.

If you are in a hurry to get your app working, it would be better to post a message with the name of that app in the title - and mention it is a 64 bit version - since not everyone reads the forum title for the message. Maybe someone will tell you how to install it with yum.




(This may not fix the first error, which isn't shown.)
