Qt 3.1/2.2 incompatibility/dependency issue...

[Calum]

hello, red hat 9 with all the freshrpms updates so the version of Qt installed is 3.1.1-6 - now i want to install notedit which is a Qt program for writing sheet music. It appears not to have been updated since a while ago since the rpms on the site are for RH7.3. I am compiling from source however (because of the same error i am getting now more or less when i tried to install the rpm). Anyway, basically it wants Qt >= 2.2.2 however it seems that Qt 3.1 doesn't fit this category! what if any is the usual workaround for this issue if anybody knows? should i simply use apt to install Qt 2 or what? here's the error message and the last few lines of config.log just for a laugh:

Code: Select all

configure: warning: libjpeg not found. disable JPEG support.
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 2.2.2) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
     For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.

int main() {
    QStringList *t = new QStringList();
    Q_UNUSED(t);

    iv.setWordWrapIconText(false);

    s.setLatin1("Elvis is alive", 14);
    return 0;
}

That's odd, I didn't need the qt2 libraries installed. I did have to slightly modify the spec file though before the SRC RPM would actually build. They were missing one line in the "%files" section. It built fine for me after adding it. I do see that it is complaining about you not having libjpeg installed though. Don't know whether it's needed or not, I already had it installed. I'll put the necessary RPMS in my apt repository for you or you can download them from me here as I built both tse3 and noteedit under RH9:

http://voidmain.is-a-geek.net/files/RPMS/

But it would probably be easiest to just add my repo to your /etc/apt/souces.list:

Code: Select all

rpm http://voidmain.is-a-geek.net apt/redhat/9/en/i386 voidmain
rpm-src http://voidmain.is-a-geek.net apt/redhat/9/en/i386 voidmain


and then:

Code: Select all

# apt-get update
# apt-get install noteedit


[Calum]

void main, thank you very much!
have added your repository since apt is my preferred software management tool and am now downloading your notedit rpm.

Just a suggestion, you maybe should drop a note to the noteedit guy letting him know about your rh9 rpm since his most recent one is rh7.3, just an idea.

[Calum]

godsdamn it!
i am having one of my dumber days i suspect...
ok, noteedit installs perfectly, i try to run it and i see that it can't find the tse3 libraries, although they do exist... in /usr/local

what to do? shall i uninstall them and install them using prefix=/ or whatever so they go in the right place, or would a better way be to include /usr/local/lib et cetera in my library path and so forth? if so, how do i do it?
sorry and thanks...

oh yes, some xterm output just for fun:

[calum@harvey calum]$ noteedit
noteedit: error while loading shared libraries: libtse3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I suspect you must have installed the tse3 from that other site. You should have removed it before doing the "apt-get install noteedit" from my site as I also have compiled the tse3 RPM for RH9 and apt-get would have installed it as a prereq to noteedit. Remove noteedit and tse3 and then use apt to install noteedit again:

Code: Select all

# rpm -e noteedit tse3
# apt-get install noteedit


Here's what "rpm -q tse3" should report:

Code: Select all

tse3-0.2.7-vm1


Here's what "rpm -ql tse3" should report:

[Calum]

yes i installed tse3 from its source package using checkinstall to add it to the rpm database. i'll uninstall both then try your apt method again, thanks once more.

[Calum]

hooray!
you win void main!

thanks a lot for totally sorting it all out for me singlehandedly!

[Void Main]

I'll take my Guiness stout please. :)

[Calum]

i reckon i owe you a few now, and if we ever find ourselves in the same region of the planet, you never know!
