Need help on Mandrake 8.2

[Lodar]

Hello... well first of all... I have been using linux for 3 days hehe so bear with me please :)

I dont know all the terms etc... but I need help with Seq and mandrake 8.2.

I am getting an error in the ./configure part of the installation...
Actually I had many... all solves by installing the right rpms etc...
only have one and hope its the last but i'm stuck.

here is the error:

configure: error: No Qt meta object compiler (moc) found!
Please check whether you installed Qt correctly.
You need to have a running moc binary.
configure tried to run and test didn't
succeed. If configure shouldn't have tried this one, set
the environment variable MOC to the right one before running
configure.


Ok from what I understood... I need to install the QT rpm... which I did... actually let me explain.

Been searching around for Qt.. found the troll site which I never found a place to download it... so i went on the download site of mandrake... after browsing a while on some ftp (ftp://ftp.claranet.fr/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/Mandrake/8.2/SRPMS/) i come to a folder with a file named qt2-2.3.1-29mdk.src.rpm ... thinking its the right one i download and install it... which i guess was not the right one since it still doesnt work.

I now find the website rpmfind.net... I do a search for "qt-" and falls on a big list ... I browse down the list and find this file qt-devel-3.0.3-0.cvs20020314.1.alpha.rpm which I am not sure if its the right one. I download and try to install but says its already install ??? hmmmm whats up with that?

So I run the configure again and still that configure error. So now that where I am so far! Stuck. Maybe I missed something.. forgot to install a certain lib or rpm...

Any help is much appreciated!

Thx

Did you export the path to QT?

[Lodar]

i guess not... how can i do that? dont forget I am starting to play with linux ;p

[Fippy_35602]

export QTDIR=/usr/local/qt-2.3.2
export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH


That should do it, at least that is what I used (blatantly ripped from Zaphods script).

[Lodar]

thx ill try that tonight... where can i get that zaphod script? Been seeing that alot..

[Lodar]

One last thing id like to know... what is the last version of showeq?

I downloaded the one on hackers quest which is version 2.something as the latest...

if its not the last version... where can i get it?

[Fippy_35602]

I believe the latest version of showeq is version 4. You can get it via CVS from the sourceforge CVS repository.

Zaphod put together a really good thread with a step-by-step for Redhat 7.1/7.2 and while it might not be right on for Mandrake, most of it will be at least close and could provide you with direction if you are stumped. I'm sure it is within the first page or two of this forum, just scroll for it a bit...
