Help please. =)

Hello all:

Seems like I am very close to getting seq to run. I have installed GCC3 and QT. However, when I try to ./configure. I get an error message as in "You need at least GCC G++ 3.0 or greater to compile ShowEQ"

Anyways, here is a paste of what I entered and the errors I got:

[root@localhost showeq]# export QTDIR=/opt/qt-gcc3-2.3.2
[root@localhost showeq]# export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
[root@localhost showeq]# export MANPATH=$QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH

This will configure and compile ShowEQ...

thanks for your help. I apppreciate it.

Well, I looked into my magical crystal ball, but even it didnt think you had posted enough information.

Lets try a few things to start:

1) What distro are you using?
2) What version of gcc3 are you using (3.0.1, 3.0.4, 3.1, etc)?
3) Where did you get it from?
4) Post your config.log (your terminal dump doesnt tell us anything).
5) Use a reasonable thread title, for god's sake...

1) I am using redhat 7.3
2) gcc3-3.0.4
3) got it from doomed.to(sp?) site I believe
4) not sure how to post my config.log yet. I'll work on that

thanks

i know its a long shot, but take a look at the faq and see if any of that helps. try using the "type gcc" then pressing the tab key thing. find out for sure if your gcc3 is called gcc3.

also, you can condense those export lines into one easyier "CC=gcc3 CXX=g++3 QTDIR=/opt/qt-2.3.2-gcc3 ./configure" (of course, you need to use the right vars).

if the rpm file of qt-2.3.2 you used was compiled with a different version of gcc3 (i think 3.0.1 was used) you MIGHT have issues once it gets past the current issue (what ever it is).

checking for gcc3... gcc3
checking for g++3... no


Seems like you got half the picture installed to me.

2) gcc3-3.0.4

Then, why are you doing?


[root@localhost showeq]# export CXX=g++3
[root@localhost showeq]# export CC=gcc3

Read the documantation (HINT: file INSTALL.NEWBIES) for more information. (side note: Dump RH 7.3 and go with 7.2)

Mr. Suspicious:

Unlike Mandrake, Redhat does NOT add on the minor version number to the binary name. I have 3.0.4 installed and the binaries are gcc3 and g++3.

[fryfrog]

to me it sounds like the mention of a post or two above here... that he seems to be missing the g++ portion of gcc3. i didn't think you could install those 4 or 5 rpms and leave out one of them, but i spose with the --force option anything works.
