Problems with qt

Hello,

I tried to emerge mosfet-liquid-widgets and got the error:

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0.2) (library qt-mt) not found.

Ok. So I emerged qt 3.0.4 and tried again and got the same error. After that I tried an emerge world and got the same error again when emerging the package kde-base/arts-1.0.1.20020604

Any suggestions?

Maybe you have QT 2.X installed as well and the configure script picks it up, failing as a result :?:

Check where QTDIR env var points.

echo $QTDIR
/usr/qt/3

I think that should be ok?

I looked also into the /usr/qt directory and there is only version 3.

check that /etc/ld.so.conf contains /usr/qt/3/lib.

Otherwise try to build liquid by yourself and see in config's output (config.log) where it fails. To do this, follow the steps in the FAQ under the entry "I want to perform the ./configure step myself. Can I? ".

After you unpack, run the ./configure script and search in config.log the cause of the error.

I'm a little bit confused...

I run the configure script by myself and get no error, but if I try to emerge (I think emerge has to run the same configure, or not?) I get the error. In the config.log I found

I looked into into the mosfet ebuild and there are no flags passed. Are there any other config files that could contain parameters for emerge / configure and overwrite my environment vars ?

Hi _lucky_

I think your problem is this symlink: i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++, looked at the end of config.log and you see that this is what cannot be found.
Remove the symlink and u should be ok unless you have another symlink like that (symlink i686-pc-linux-gnu-c++ for example). I had those two and had the same errors like you when I wanted to emerge kdebase after removing them I was able to emerge kdebase at last.

Hi, I got exactly the same error after upgrading to gcc 3.1-r6.
I think it haven't the same cause: config.log does not show any error about links. Moreover /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ and /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-c++ are "real" executables on my system, not symlinks.
What's up?
Thanks very much!

Hi Tatonet

I don't use gcc-3.1 (2.95 here) and /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ and /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-c++ were symlinks for me I'd made to use ccache.
Try not to use /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ and /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-c++ (rename it for that time) while emerging that package (maybe it doesn't like it)

best luck

Hi,

I found that having done most of the things to patch the hole(s) leading to the QT qcursor-related error(s), the command:

opengl-update xfree

did the trick for arts and kdelibs, so far!
