I have been a Slackware guy for more than a decade, but recently I have encountered an intractable problem. I really need two programs for my daily work. Slack 13.0 will handle Kmail like a champ but because of elderly version of Qt4 won't compile the developmental package Scribus 1.5.0. Slack 13.1 will compie Scribus 1.5.0 ( I do this overnight) but Kmail is thoroughly messed up.
So I tuned to Debian Testing. I used apt-get to add the compiler stuff, KDE for Kmail, svn, cmake and so on. But something, almost certainly KDE, has screwed up parts of Qt4. When I attempt to compile Scribus 1.5.0 I get these error messages: -------------------------------------------------------------- Warning: QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE reported QT_INSTALL_LIBS as /usr/lib Warning: But QtCore couldn't be found. Qt must NOT be installed correctly, or it wasn't found for cross compiling. CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindQt4.cmake:642 (MESSAGE): Could NOT find QtCore. Check /usr/local/src/s150/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log for more details. Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:465 (FIND_PACKAGE) etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Here is my script for compiling and installing Scribus 1.5.0: ----------------------------------------------------------------- cd /usr/local/src/ svn co svn://scribus.net/trunk/Scribus s150 cd s150 cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/local/scribus_svn - DWANT_SCRIPTER2=1 make make install cd scribus rm /usr/local/bin/scrib5 ln scribus /usr/local/bin/scrib5 -------------------------------------------------------------- The above script works regularly. on slack 13.1 but not unfortunately on my copy of Debian Testing. I'll try copying the copy of QtCore.so found in the Python directories to /usr/lib but I am not sanguine about the results. My base question: assuming that important parts of Qt4 have been overwritten by KDE4 how do I get beck to the original testing versions? -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus: http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
