problems installing Qt 2.3.1

[janneo]

I'm having some weird problems installing Qt. When I modify my .profile file like the installation instructions say and login again, Qt still complians that I have not set my Qtdir-variable, even when I just added it to the .profile according to the instructions. And when I log in, I get an error message saying ":command not found". That happened after I added the information to .profile according to Qt installation instructions.

I have installed Qt (different version) several times without any problems, but this is certainly new to me.

Any ideas?

What was the command you added?

It's most likely that whatever command you added is not in your $PATH. Either add the directory to your $PATH or prefix the command with './' without the quotes.

I added this to my .profile

QTDIR=/usr/local/qt
PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
MANPATH=$QTDIR/man:$MANPATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

export QTDIR PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

That's what it tells me to add to the .profile. It has always worked in the past.

OK, I now managed to get it compiling. But it dies in the middle of it (don't remember the error code). So I have now decided to install the SuSE 7.1 rpm (my sys is 7.1 Pro). So my question is: does that rpm have the exception handling disabled? How about antialiasing?

when you do ./configure
./configure -xft
for anti alias support
do ./configure --help for a list of all the options

I managed to finally get KDE up&running (well, almost at least). I installed QT from the .rpm, and it did have AA enabled :)!
