RedHat 7.2 users (and possibly 7.1 if you can find the correct RPMS).

ok everything works fine up to this part

when i put in this part

configure -release -shared -gif -xft -sm -system-libmng -system-zlib -system-libpng -system-jpeg -no-g++-exceptions -thread

all i get is
bash: configure: command not found


i've tried ./configure and /configure. still doesn't work
when i do it i'm at the prompt
[root@localhost qt-gcc3-2.3.2]#


anyone have any clue whats wrong... this is my 4th install cause i keep thinking i don't have the right rpms installed and stuff. i wrote a list and did a custom install. i know for a fact i have them all installed this time.

I just used that same line with ./configure and it worked for me.

Ok now I get no information and ShowEQ is loaded fine.

two computers are plugged into a hub (10mb one) and that hub goes to the linksys rrouter

both comps can access the internet

Do i need to do some special network configuration between the two?

What else could be wrong.

MSK

[lewtWh0re]

When i try to do the ./configure it says no such file or directory

[msk]

Thanks a ton Z, finally up and running.

Don't even ask what the hub thing was.......pure stupidity on my part.

Anyone tried this walkthrough recently? I used it about 2 months ago, and had no problems, just wondering if it's just me?

This isn't help for installing SINS under RH 7.2 but installing seq 4.0 under RH 7.2.

You may want to try the SINS forum over on SourceForge.

seq 4.0 does not use the same libraries or libEQ.a as SINS anymore (I think).

[fastduke]

Thank you for this post. I got through the process with no errors that I could perceive.

When I try and run the binary, I get this message (running it using the Launcher in a terminal window):

----------------------------------------
There has been an error while trying to log in.

If you are using Linux 2.2.x with glibc 2.1.x, this is probably due to incorrectly setup Unix98 ptys.

Please read linux/Documentation/Changes for how to set them up correctly.
----------------------------------------

I've been using SEQ since 2. I tried using the path /usr/local/bin in the Launcher and no path.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Edit: I do believe I checked out the wrong version of CVS. I used to use "cvs checkout linux" and I used that again in my RedHat 7.2 install of SEQ4. I should have used "cvs checkout showeq". I used that, and all worked out well.

I am pretty new to Linux, but installed 7.1 from CDs that a friend lent me. I followed the directions from above (learning about RPMs, Lynx and a multitude of other things in the process). The script runs and says that I have all the required packages installed. I go to install the qt rpm, and I get a message about libGB.so.1 and libGLU.so.1 are missing and required. From what I can tell, these files are part of Mesa-3.4.2-7.i386.rpm. I downloaded that file and rpm tells me that it needs XFree86 4.1.0-0.99.2. XFree86-libs-4.1.0-3.i386.rpm was installed and the development file, so I am not sure where to go from here. This may be a newbie mistake, but would appreciate any help someone can suggest.
Thanks.

Ok, complete Linux newb here, so please bear with me.

I just installed Mandrake 8.1 on my machine (a fun adventure in itself). After spending an hour looking for a detailed description for Mandrake 8.1 like the one Zaphod has given here for Red Hat 7.2, I have come to the conclusion that either a. such a description doesn't exist, or b. the installation for mandrake 8.1 is the same as red hat 7.2. If the answer is a. can someone please tell me where I can find the Mandrake installation.

Anyway, carrying on with Zaphod's installation, I downloaded the RPMs files. However I immediately ran into a brick wall when when I tried to install them. For example, when I use Zaphod's command:

rpm -Uhv glibc-2.2.4-13.i386.rpm glibc-common-2.2.4-13.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.2.4-13.i386.rpm

I get the error message:

error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted (1)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

So I make my way to the /var/lib/rpm folder and find that the file Packages exists, with the following permissions:
-rw-r--r--

15 years ago I once had a brief introduction to Unix, so I know that files have various permissions attached to them, and that these permissions can be changed, but I have no clue how to tell what permissions are being granted, nor do I know how to change them.

Being the newbie that I am, I find myself completely stumped on step 1 of the instructions. It may take me a month of pestering you fine folks, but I will get showeq running!

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
CP

[Cryonic]

were you doing the rpm command as root? No the Mandrake 8.1 install is not the same as RH7.2, it is close, but not the same.

[zero]

After installing the qt-2.3.2-gcc3 files (on a fresh 7.2 install, with all the requied rpms), rpm -q still shows qt-2.3.1 being the only qt installed.

As such, configure fails stating that it needs 2.3.2. I followed the instructions to the tee (including useq232). Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

[CPEQ]

Newbie manages to answer his own question...story at 11

Fortunately hackersquest.org came back up, and I found a great Mandrake installation guide there (I thought it was just a dead link, turns out the site was down...my bad for making the assumption....reminds me of a saying my old football coach had "when you assume you make an ass out of you and I"..he wasn't very bright)

Anyway, following that installation guide to the letter and its going swimmingly....I make my solomn n00bie pledge not to pester you fine folks unless I get seriously stuck (I'm actually having fun getting a little stuck and then figuring it out on my own )

Thanks again
CP

Seem to have fixed my problem. I read through the shell code for configure and saw that it allowed for the QTDIR specification.

In case anyone else runs into this, I ran './configure --with-qt-dir=/opt/<qtdir>' where <qtdir> is the name of the directory that qt-232-gcc3 is installed with the RPM (I forget the exact directory name atm).
