Description Pramod 2000-10-26 18:05:30 UTC

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package: Almost most of the packages (non-standard)
Version: 1.2.2
Severity: critical
Installed from: Red Hat RPMs 7.0


I have Redhat 6.2 with Kde installed. I have got all the standard libraries like gccetc. installed. and have got Qt 2.1 beta libraries (all) and Qtx - backward compatibility libraries. Whenever i try to install(./configure) any Kde application(compatible with RH 6.x systems) I get the following message: 'checking for kde libraries installed... configure: error: your system 
fails at linking a small KDE application! Check if your compiler is stalled correctly and if you have used the same compiler to compile Qt and kdelibs as you did use now'
I think the prob may be due to the reason i had installed 2 diff version of QT from 2 different distributions.I uninstalled the older QT & reinstalled Kde but still the bug persists.
Pramod.

OK I summarize: you're installing on RH 6.2 RPMS from RH 7.0
use some beta Qt and wonder that older application don't compile
with newer KDE versions. Is that right?
These application won't compile with anything else than qt 1.4
and KDE 1.1.2

I will make the prob more clear-
I got this problem whenever i installed kde 1.1.2qt 2.x betaqtx 1.4.x beta.
All the standard s/w that comes with kde works perfectly but if i instally 
any new kde application i get that error. I agree they require qt 1.4 but 
why don't the apps use the qtx backward compatibility libraries. Isn't it the 
reason they are given?
