I am not a developer and use the latest Ubuntu with all the development tools and KDE stuff. I also build Scribus into its own directory /scribus135 The latest Qt is 4.4.2 1. Download it from Trolltech 2, Read the INSTALL (or README) if you want to 3. Do the usual ./configure make sudo make install 4. You will now have a /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4.2 directory 5. Download a fresh svn..See note(a) 6. Set your environment (See Note(b) export PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4.2/bin:$path export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4.2/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib" 7. Build your fresh svn a la current instructions, read the output of the first cmake command and make sure it has picked up 4.4.2 Notes a. I haven't psyched out cmake yet, it seems to have a memory, so previous builds using Qt-.4.4.1 will find 4.4.1 despite the PATH pointing to 4.4.2 (in fact I d/l a fresh svn every now and then and make a few copies, so every time I stuff something up I just go to a copy, update it, and start again) b. At a console run # env|grep PATH That will tell you where your computer goes looking for things and in what order. LD_LIBRARY_PATH (and PKG_CONFIG_PATH) don't normally show up with this command, but will after you have exported it (Yet another mystery for me) HTH Owen
