QT Error on make

OS - Redhat 7.2

SEQ & libEQ.a downloaded today using the instructions in the FAQ

Problem:

I'm having problems installing the version of QT as recommended here (qt-x11-2.3.2). I followed the included INSTALL notes to the letter apart from where I used ./configure -thread which seemed okay and then ran make. After a few minutes I got the following blurb at the bottom:

kernel/qlayoutengine.cpp: In function `void qGeomCalc
(QArray<QLayoutStruct> &, int, int, int, int, int)':
kernel/qlayoutengine.cpp:239: Internal error: Segmentation fault.
Please submit a full bug report.
See <URL:http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/> for instructions.
make[3]: *** [kernel/qlayoutengine.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/qt/src'
make[2]: *** [src-mt] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/qt'
make[1]: *** [src-mt] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/qt'
make: *** [init] Error 2

I'm a linux learner (not quite a complete noob, but not that great)

I've done a few searches to try and find what's wrong (spent most of the day playing around trying to get this working without resorting to asking for help). Searching on 'qlayoutengine' and a few other things didn't help.

I'm sorry if I am asking a question that's already been answered, but I have looked for a solution before posting! :o)

If anyone could give me a pointer on what to look for or what extra info is needed for diagnosis, please let me know, thanks.

Joe.

Most likely, System hardware is failing. For QT issues, you'd be better off dealing with Trolltech (makers of QT) or as the error suggests submit the problem to bugzilla.

Woops - sorry!

I'll look elsewhere then. Thanks for the quick reply!

Seg faults during Qt compiling with no specific errors tend to be RAM issues most of the time. Make sure you have enough. You could also try compiling in command line mode instead of in a windows environment to free some up.

I managed to get QT to compile overnight - running in command line (I have 192mb RAM) and swapping out my ancient intel i740 gfx card for an almost as old TNT2 seemed to fix the problem.

I'm now back to where I started - 'something wicked' error on SEQ install. So it's still complaining about QT somehow. Time to search the boards again I guess... :o)

Thanks for the info though,

Joe

UPDATE


Durrrrr - was setting the QT dir to /usr/local/qt - not /usr/local/qt/bin..... All seems okay now!
