interesting problem

[Firehopper]

Being a sorta linux newbe, please be kind and give help or guide me in the right direction..


My problem is thus. I downloaded all the files and think I have everything installed properly on Debian linux 3.1

I do a ./configure


and it fails right after QT document check


checking for QT... yes
>> Found version .... : 3.3.4
>>>headers ........... : /usr/include/qt3
>>>libraries .......... : /usr/lib/
>>>> Documentation : unable to locate
configure: warning qt documentation not installed
configure: error: something wicked happened while trying to validate you qt installation. please verify your libraries



whats wrong.. and whats the best way to fix it..

source is under /usr/src/showeq-5.0.0.22/

If you're on debian, I'd probably just use the debs instead of the tarball. But anyways, look at config.log to see what actually happened. Maybe you don't have qt-devel or something? I got no clue how debian actually works.

was missing a few hidden libarys.. compiling now.. will prolly have to purchase a old style hub to get it to work though

Actually having the same problem here. Searched everywhere but nada.

I have all the obvious Qt packages installed.

Any clue or memory of what those hidden libraries were?

Are you using the debs or the tarball? I don't know how debs work, but I think they have dependencies represented so you should be able to use them and have them tell you what you're missing. Alternately, check your config.log to see what check actually failed.
