Hi Hazen: Thanks for all of the information I requested. It is strange that the ftp site stops with 4.7.0. I suggest Richard and you try http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/ where 4.7.3 is available for all platforms including Windows. For what it is worth, 4.6.3 works fine here under Linux. So assuming Arjen confirms 4.7.3 works on Windows (and you and Richard do as well and I do the same under wine) maybe the issue is ".0" trouble (bad initial releases in each 4.x series) for Nokia Qt releases? If 4.7.3 works for all of you (and under wine for me), then we are done (other than documentation of the Qt version problems on our wiki), but just in case not, or if you want to explore the problem further, it appears the latest version of 4.6.x is available at the above ftp site. My guess is that will be 2010.04, but if not, it is highly likely it is one of 2010.0[1-3] which are also available at the ftp site. I plan to test at least Qt 4.5.3 and Qt-4.7.3 under wine to see whether I can replicate everyone else's proprietary Windows results for those Qt versions. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
