Since showeq requires qt3 libraries, here is how to get them for ubuntu 16.04.
Add this to your sources.list
and thenQuote:

sudo apt-get update
That's it. Once you're done installing, remove the repo via Software & Updates, Other Software. Find precise repo and delete it.Quote:
sudo apt-get install qt3-dev-tools
Thanks. Stickied the thread. Does this work for ubuntu 18?
The above info doesn't work anymore. That repo was shutdown back in July I believe since it met end of life. You can still get qt3-dev-tools but will have to compile it manually and make sure SEQ knows where the libs are at.
If you installed qt3-dev-tools on Ubuntu 16.04 before they shut down that repo, you can still upgrade to 18.04 and seq works fine.
I had issues with this portion and attempted to use the --with-qt-libraries flag in configure to avail.Quote:

It mostly worked for me, but I'm having issues with Qt not picking up fonts. This issue is independent of ShowEQ - none of the Qt examples are able to display fonts correctly. However, I'm using Lubuntu 18.04 instead of Mint, so it may just be a product of the way my distro does (or does not) do its font management.
Do a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04.6 desktop, then as root:
