Qt package not found

[mss]

So I am trying to install this program and during the install it says that I need Qt.

After doing some search i found that the package name for debian is qt-x11-free. but when i do apt-get install qt-x11-free, it says can't find the package. There is also a unstable package of qt4 but i can't get that either. Any ideas on how I can get this package?

looks like it's available as source:

http://packages.debian.org/stable/source/qt-x11-free

"dogpile is your friend"

Are you running stable? That package is only avaible for testing and unstable. You might try libqt3c102-mt (that is for all kde apps)

This is so weird. I downloaded and installed QT (configure and make) but the application that depends on it still complains that it hasn't been found. i also tried to do an apt-get of the lib mentioned in the reply but, apt said that i already have it. I don't know what to do.

according to this you need to install qt3-dev-tools and libqt3-mt-dev. It also gives some other steps that may be needed.

Try apt-get install xfree86-common.

BTW, if you dont know the exact file that you want to download for debian, type apt-cache search file/program/app. For instance, if I wanted to install gnome, I would type, apt-cache search gnome, and there would be a list of gnome files to download.
