I'm afraid not. I've been using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS as a benchmark for ensuring that Rosegarden doesn't require anything too new or bleeding edge. I actually have to keep a separate copy of Qt 4.7 around to manage our translations, due to bugs in Qt. As such, I'm pretty much satisfied if Rosegarden builds against Qt 4.6, and I'm not at all interested in supporting anything older than that at this point. The good news is that while it's mildly inconvenient, you should be able to do the same thing I do to get a copy of Qt 4.7 up and going. Unless things have changed since the last time I set this up, you can download a pre-compiled binary version of Qt from Nokia, drop it in userland, and compile Rosegarden against that. That saves hours and hours of compiling Qt from source, and keeps the newer version separate from the rest of the stuff installed on your system. It's a bit of a pain, but it's less painful than the alternatives. I had this working perfectly there for awhile, but at some point I screwed something up, and now Rosegarden will compile against 4.7, but fails to link. I never did sort that out, I'm afraid to say. Still, I had it all working once, and I'm sure the problem can be solved for less effort than upgrading your entire system. Or you could just upgrade. Karmic is obsolete, and no longer supported by Ubuntu. You could probably upgrade it to LTS relatively easily, being the next step in line, and then you could build Rosegarden from there without any further ado. -- D.
