Compiler problem

[Nazty]

Well, I installed Mandriva 2006 x86_64 on my PC, that's ok! But now
when I try to install new software and follow the order for doing this
in the console...

su
./configure
make
make install

...the compiler won't work!

You say the compiler won't work. Exactly what happens when you try the above? Is there any output at all? (If so please post it). Does your machine hang? Can you get as far as a root prompt like, eg:

fingals_box#

[Nazty]

Yeah...there is output but I am not at home presently....
I' ll post it tonight!
I suppose that some component of the compiler is missing!
I had the same problem with Mandriva 2005 LE, I simply couldn't make it work!


Do you know some source of rpm packages for this distribution?


Edit: Ok! Thanks! I'll try tonight!

One thing to try for finding rpm mirror sites is to use the easy urpmi website. Just work your way through the first 3 tick boxes labeled 1) Core distribution and read the output. I always double check the path through to the mirror site by entering the URL into a browser and taking a look at where I end up!

Or Google for Mandriva mirrors.

EDIT: Also, take a look on your installation disk. You could probably install it from there.

ok ! Here is what I get as an answer in the console when I try to configure the program I am
trying to install....nothing else but a simple dictionary...

configure: error: You need to have the QT 3.0 or higher libraries installed

I think everything is on my hard disk I but simply the path to these libraries is unknown
or something like this.....I have the most recent distro, it's not posible that something is missing, is it?

checking for QT libraries... no
configure: error: You need to have the QT 3.0 or higher libraries installed

using urpmi or MCC's add remove software tool, install QT and any of its libraries. By default mandriva chooses not to install these and some other libraries during the installation phase, but if you need them you will have to add them.

[Nazty]

The weird thing is that when I type...

urpmi qt

...or simply search for "QT" or "QTlib" there is no results which should
mean that everythng is present on my machine?! I have also searched
the rpm repositories of easyurpmi but there's no results of missing QT
components from there?! I don't know what's wrong... What other
keywords should I type?



EDIT: I know about the QT website...
Do I have to buy QT or something? Is that why it's missing? I thought
that it is free for Linux, isn't it?

[AlexK]

try using MCC's add reomve software tool.

[Nazty]

I have tried but there is no result...
Any other ideas?!

[AlexK]

you could try searching on rpm sites such as pbone and here is a link for an rpm of qt3-common for mandrake 10.x series from pbone
