installing kvirc from sources

[wallen]

I tried to install kvirc onto Fedora Core 3 (fresh new installation) from sources following the instructions for newbies here reported: http://www.kvirc.net/?id=install#human

When I have to specify with the EXPORT command where the qt directory is located at, I made a find command and the reasonable outputs were:
- /usr/lib/qt-3.3
- /usr/lib/qt-3.3/etc/settings/qtrc
- /usr/lib64/qt-3.3
- /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/etc/settings/qtrc

If I type ./configure without exporting the QTDIR, I get the error saying that qt libraries weren't found. Using QTDIR either equal to /usr/lib/qt-3.3 or /usr/lib64/qt-3.3, it doesn't find the headers and suggests me to run ./configure with the --with-qt-include-dir command (which I put equal to /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/etc/settings/qtrc). After that, I get the moc not found message, so I use --with-qt-moc=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/etc/settings/qtrc. I thought that

./configure --with-qt-include-dir=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/etc/settings/qtrc --with-qt-moc=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/etc/settings/qtrc

would make it, but I was wrong since the terminal returned me this:

################################################################################### CONFIGURE ERROR:
### Failed to compile the Qt library test program.
### This may be a bad sign :)
### First of all, make sure that qt is correctly installed on your system,
### and the qt version is the one requested by this version of kvirc.
### Ensure that you have only one copy of qt visible at a time.
### You may also take a look at the config.log file in this directory,
### that will tell you which check has failed and maybe more about the reason
### of the failure.
### The CPPFLAGS used were:
###   -I/usr/X11R6/include
###   -I/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/etc/settings/qtrc
###   -I/usr/X11R6/include
###   -I/usr/X11R6/include
### The CXXFLAGS used were:
###   -O2
###   -Wall
###   -g
###   -O2
### The LIBS used were:
###   -L/usr/X11R6/lib64
###   -L/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib
###   -L/usr/X11R6/lib64
###   -lqt-mt
###   -lXext
###   -lX11
### The LDFLAGS used were:
###   -s
### If you're sure that qt is correctly installed , you may force configure
### to skip this check and try to compile kvirc anyway.
### Try using the --without-qt-check option.
### If you're feeling that this may be a bug in this configure script
### and want to report this to me , please include your configure script,
### the config.log file as well as the complete configure output.

Have you got any suggestions ?

try it with: --without-qt-check

try it with: --without-qt-check

Using that flag ./configure doesn't give out any error, even if I scroll back there is no kde detected, even though I used /usr/lib64/kde3 as directory to point to. If I type "find / -name kde*" this is what I get:

[lakerdonald]

but it doesn't throw an error, so you should be set to continue?

[wallen]

Yeah, but when I try to perform the last step (loading kvirc) I get an error. Apart that, I don't think it's pretty necessary to properly set the paths for qt and kde, isn't it ?

In the meanwhile I tried to install the .tgz version using the installpkg command but I get this:

[root@localhost abh]# [root@localhost abh]# installpkg
-bash: installpkg: command not found

[lakerdonald]

well what happens when you try to run it?
