I am trying to get the seq source code following the instructions in the howto but I keep getting denied. Anyone know whats wrong? or am I just totally doing it wrong

[high_jeeves]

well, with all the information you've given us, its should be easy to solve... lets see... we dont know what command, what the exact error message is, what system you are running... no problem.. the answer is B!

the command was wget ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-xll-3.0.2.tar.qz
the error message is invalid port

[high_jeeves]

With the miracle we call search (or just looking 8 threads down to the thread labelled INVALID PORT ERROR), we find this:

ok I used the info there, but it still comes up with an error no such file exists. i have thriple checked the file name and tried a bunch of veryations, as well as looked all over the help form but I can't find the a file name, and every one who ask gets flamed. the cvs does not have the file name, could anyone please tell me.

Why don't you just log onto the FTP server, browse to the directory that the "wget" is talking about and do an ls to see if that file is actually there?

Let me edit this... I just revved up my good old Windoze version of WSFTP and logged onto Trolltech's FTP Server, and yes, that file is there... Are you sure you have the name correct?

It's "qt-x11-free-3.0.2.tar.gz" That's qt-x1(one)1(one)-free-3.0.2.tar.gz

From your previous message it almost looks like you were typing something other than 11... maybe ll?

[RUCDOC]

i would but there are 15 files in that directory and I don't know which one is the newest

[RavenCT]

You don't NEED to know which one is the newest, just the one that the install doc is referencing!

Don't get something newer, you'll just be asking for additional problems... Just get the referenced one.


-------- Editorial Ahead... ------------

Oh, and don’t take this the wrong way, no, actually take this the wrong way, I don’t care… are you saying that you can’t or are too lazy to look at 15 files to see which one is the one you want? Give me a break, you have the file name that you need RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!

Don’t expect others to help you too much more if you won’t even put in the effort to get the right file… What, do you want someone to come over to your house and install it for you?

I’m done with this… good luck, try to be a little nicer to someone else trying to help you next time…

[RUCDOC]

did you not read my post it says the one that is referenced in the howto aint there, so I don't know what to get.

[RavenCT]

I just looked there AGAIN, and the file referenced in the Hackerquest HOWTO for a clean install on RH 7.2 is... (Can anyone guess?)

----- taken directly from the HQ post ------

cd /usr/lib/
wget ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-x11-2.3.2.tar.gz
tar zxvf qt-x11-2.3.2.tar.gz

------------------------

And the listing on the Trolltech FTP site...

/qt/source
-rw-r--r-- 1 530 users 8978412 Nov 5 14:06 qt-x11-2.3.2.tar.gz

Thats the one listed in the FAQ and it's on the FTP Site!!

God I hate it when people are too f*ing lazy to just open there eyes!

[high_jeeves]

Its certainly there.. clicking on the link generated by RavenCT's post does infact download it...

Note: This is the easiest part of the install (literally).. if downloading this file has given you this much trouble, i would highly recommend you spend some additional time learning linux before you attempt the rest..
