Description Andy Elvey 2004-05-18 10:40:29 UTC
Version:           3.0.3 (using KDE KDE 3.2.2)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.3  
OS:                Linux

I downloaded kdevelop-3.0.3.tar.bz2.  Untarred it in my home directory (/home/andy), no problems. Went into the kdevelop-3.0.3 directory and typed "./configure" .  Config starts and goes fine until it gets to "Looking for Qt... ".  The whole system then locks up.  (I know this because clock stops in lower-right of screen).  Waited for 20 min - no change. 
  This bug sounds quite similar to bug 20839.  I am using Mepis Linux, version 2004.05.  KDE version 3.2.2 .

Reproducible? Do you have a stable system?
Comment 2 Andy Elvey 2004-05-20 08:50:17 UTC
Hi Stephen - thanks for this (and my apologies for posting to the bug-list as 
a non-member  ( I got an email that mentioned that ) . 
 
 Yes, I've just managed to reproduce the bug about 5 min ago (very easily!). 
Same as before - I get the message "checking for Qt ... " and the whole 
system locks up.  I'm using Mepis Linux version 2004.5, and using the 2.6.4 
kernel ( it allows you to choose between that and the 2.4 kernel).  
  Just wondering - as a relative newcomer to Linux - should I have d/loaded 
the bz2 file to "/" and untarred it there (instead of in /home/andy ) ?   
Just thought I'd check ... :-) 
  Is my system stable?  Yes, very much so (apart from this, and I'm kinda 
surprised that it's possible to lock up the 2.6.4 kernel ! ..  ;-)  Anyway - 
very happy with Mepis.  
   Hope this may help. I'm *very willing* to send you the CD if that will help 
(now that I've installed Mepis, I don't really need it!) .  
 Bye for now - 
 
 - Andy

Not a KDevelop problem per se. No one else seems to have this problem and the Qt check is generic and probably part of every KDE program's build settings.

Closing as INVALID.
