Hi there (especially to mrdocs from irc) On any new cygwin install of scribus from the instructions over at http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Installing_Scribus_on_Win32 there is a failure. It is probably best if I just paste most of the discussion from the wiki into this thread...
" (I'm a n00b at this, so don't know if this is cygwin related or Scribus install) Installing from binaries. Everything looks and installs fine. However, last step (/opt/scribus/1.2/bin/scribus.exe &) causes this error, stating that the "cygqt-mt-3.dll was not found. Reinstalling may help." Reinstalling has not helped. Any ideas? Thanks. --Kevinism 13:59, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC) Are you sure you have Qt3 installed? --jo-hannes 15:14, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC) It may be that the path isn't set. Try the following: Create this script by copying the following lines into a bash shell and enter RETURN and CTRL-D to close the cat command. (watch for line breaks) cat >/etc/profile.d/qt33.sh export QTDIR=/opt/qt/3.3 export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$QTDIR/doc/man At last you should reread the environment to activate this settings for your current bash shell with . /etc/profile " Unfortunately, this fails (for the entire cat output see the wiki, though it basically boils down to "No such file or directory "), which makes me think that this is a PATH problem, possibly caused by some new stuff in cygwin. It can be overcome in the short term by typing: cd /opt/scribus/1.2/bin ln -s /opt/qt/3.3/bin/cygqt-mt-3.dll THEN try launching. But if the path is broken, this could be causing problems elsewhere. As I never got a full cygwin install without this, could someone who knows what Scribus should be like on cygwin, test this and see if it has broken something. Please note that I have modified the main install guide to put these 2 lines of code in. It should now work, with any luck. Anybody any ideas? Thanks, Alex
