Terminals terminals terminals!

[Travis Shofner]

I've been in search for a good terminal program in KDE...konsole sucks, xterm is sorta limiting for what I need. I was told to try ktelnet, but it says it cant find the QT libraries (which I have installed in /usr/lib/).

Anyone have any other suggestions for a terminal program or ideas on why ktelnet wont configure? I'd like something that I can use to copy and paste from one program to another...

Here's the error it says:

checking for QT-1.30... configure: error: QT-1.30 (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!

I'm having a similar problem running tux racer but its not finding the tcl8.3 libs, even though I have THOSE installed as well. *cry* I wanna play tux racer!

Any help would be appreciated, as always.

Did you use a rpm package to install the libraries? The reason being, if you install say the qt libraries using a non-rpm package, then the rpm package you are trying to install will not detect the qt libraries. RPM checks for dependencies in the RPM database and not by EVERYTHING that is installed on your system.

I guess the libraries were RPM, they were installed from the SuSE 7.1 installation. Any way around this?

Is KTelnet available in rpm format? If so, then give it a try. Other than that ???

[Travis Shofner]

Hm, bummer deal. I dont see it available in rpm format. Should I try downloading QT from src and installing it that way?

[bdg1983]

So, you're trying to compile ktelnet from source? Are you sure that you've installed also QT development packages?

[Travis Shofner]

Oh yeah, they're there. I'm downloading and installing the QT libraries source right now (taking forever to build!!). Hopefully this will clear it up.

eterms and aterms are nice... :)

[Travis Shofner]

Shoot :(

Just installed QT libraries from source tarball (hour and half build) and it still says it can't find the QT libraries, even though I've set my shell for the correct QT source directory.

Says:

configure: error: QT (>= 1.42 and < 2.0 ) (libraries) not found. Please check your installation.

I've got 2.42. Isn't that good enough?

Suggestions? What am I missing?

Geeeez ..... have another look at that, will you? .... It says Greater than or Equal to 1.42 AND Less than 2.0!
Your version 2.42 overshoots those requirements. Get a version below 2.0 and above 1.42.

Cheers! :)
