RH9 w/default qt bin rpm's problem?

[fec]

Got a new to me laptop (ibm 600) so went and did a ftp rh9 install on it

figured the qt files in rh9 would work with seq

If you just installed the RPMs, then you probably don't know if they compiled Qt with the -thread option. And I'll bet they didn't.

[Cryonic]

RH has always built their verion of QT with the -thread option. If you want to see the full configure options that they feed to QT, then download the src.rpm and look at the rpm spec file.

i believe i remember similer problems with RH 8.1, it had something to do with the compile being not a dev version, anyway something along those lines.

I ended up having to download and compile QT, even though i already had it, i would assume you need to do the same, regardless of what RH should be giving you.

[Zaphod]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again in response to many posts about configure failing, you need to include the contents of the config.log. The config.log contains exactly what error was generated when configure was performing its test, and without that information everyone is left to guess. The "Something wicked happened" error can be caused by at over 6 different possible problems. The Qt that comes with RedHat 8, 8.1, and 9 should work out of the box, it does include the version compiled with -thread, and it does work. Please attach the config.log file or you will only get confused guesses.

Enjoy,

P.S. I am currently running on a RedHat 8 system with all the latest from up2date and nothing more.

[Leetlewon]

I'm a bit confused about how you could be using a RH 8 system with up2date and it have a QT version greater than 3.05 Zaphod.

I did exactly the same thing.... RH 8.0 with up2date telling me no updates available, 0 ignored, and my QT version is still 3.0.5.

/shrug

I am gonna try compiling 3.3 and installing. I tried a 3.1 RPM but it keeps telling me that qtconfig requires 3.0.5. I guess I could force it.

Just wondering how you got 3.1 in RH 8.0 with up2date.

[Cryonic]

Because you are responding to a post that is 3 months old and no longer has a relevant QT version. SEQ5 (released in the last week or two) is what requires QT >= 3.1.

[Leetlewon]

Makes sense. I just saw ">> Found version.: 3.1.1" in this thread and figured I was somehow supposed to be able to get 3.1 using up2date. Guess not - thanks.

[Ragnarok]

I have an issue similar to that of the original poster, so I thought I would post my question here since this thread has been re-activated.

My system has a fresh install of RedHat 9. I am attempting to install SEQ 5.0.0.3. When I run the configure script, I eventually get the following error:

checking for libz... -lz
checking for libpng... no
checking for Qt... no
>> Unable to locate your Qt includes...
configure: error: Please verify your Qt devel install!

According to the RPM tool, I have qt-3.1.1-6 installed. Attached is my config.log file. Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Ragnarok

Qt and Qt-devel are 2 different packages. You need both installed to compile. You can use RH's built in rpm tool to install it, or just put in the second cd (pretty sure that's where it is), cd to the RPM directory, and do an install on it manually: rpm -iv qt-devel-3.1.1.rpm (or whatever the filename is).

Looking at your error messages, you're also missing libpng. From that I can assume you may be missing some of the other packages too. Take a look at the INSTALL.newbies (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/seq/showeq/INSTALL.newbies?content-type=text%2Fplain&rev=1.5.16.1) file. It's a bit out of date, but does have the correct list of packages to install. Make sure you have those.
