Subject: RPM in Debian?!? AND: Qt2 troubles
User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i
From: Debian User <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hi!
I have faced a problem.
I wanted to install QtCUPS. So I downloaded the .rpm since there is no .deb.
I tried to install the RPM package. To do this, I first installed rpm and
alien, but rpm ends with the following error message:
"failed to open /var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm: No such file or directory
error: cannot open /var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm"
Waht can I do? Is it enough to simply create the /var/lib/rpm directorie and an
empty packages.rpm file, or is it more difficult?
Then I tried to install QtCUPS from the tarball. But ./configurE terminates with
"checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 2.2.1) (headers and libraries)
not found. Please check your installation!"
That is _NOT_ funny!!!!
(Qt2.2.3 is in /usr/lib/qt2 with a softlink to /usr/bin/qt. There are the
subdirectories ./lib and (empty) ./bin)
I hope that someone can help me with my problems.
Greetingz
Andreas Maresch
