Well we need a WHOLE lot more to diagnose this problem... what distro, compiler, qt version? My clairvoyance has been acting up lately, how about posting the whole error message?

that was the whole message :(.. just a simple 2 line error.. have gcc-3.0.4 qt-3.0.4 and that is exactly what I've got.. I run redhat 7.2... I've seen some other people post this problem.. but nobody knew what it was.. thanks

Did you use the Export correctly for 3.0.4?

export CC=gcc3.0.4 ; export CXX=g++3.0.4 ; export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-2.3.2

------ Other suggestions:

Have you tried to "make" anything else?

Try another download, maybe the DIVX download since its always fun to watch movies on Linux.

Can you "make" the divx-installer?

Might try re installing the RPM . I think its:
make-3.79.1-5.i386.rpm

aye... yes.. I've made other things before.. so it's not that.. I'm starting to pull hair out :)

Wel maybe a corrupt /root/showeq ?

Delete the /showeq dir and then cvs again. Should look just like this:

su root
cd /root
cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq co showeq
cd /root/showeq
cvs update -P
cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq logout
export CC=gcc3.0.4 ; export CXX=g++3.0.4 ; export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-2.3.2
make -f Makefile.dist && ./configure && make && make install

Just noticed you said QT 3.0.4 .. i thought it was GCC

Anyways, found this:
http://seq.sourceforge.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1550&highlight=qt3.0.4

Bottome line .....

maybe you should be compiling qt-2.3.2 with gcc3 instead of using the qt that comes with mdk like everyone else? :)
