Redhat 7.2 problems

[Knighttime]

Ok folx,

I have been following the instructions listed on the post for the installation of Showeq on RH 7.2. Everything appears to be installed, but for some reason, after the make install step, when I type showeq, it says 'file not found'. I restart the workstation and still get errors. (just switched over from my old 6.2 install to 7.2).

After checking to ensure that all of the steps listed in the Redhat 7.2 Install was followed, here is my config.log file.

I am somewhat of a novice at Linux, so any help is appreciated. I have attempted this install several times. The latest, instead of just installating the packages listed in the RedHat 7.2 Installation instructions post, I did a complete install.

I intend to reload the machine again with a min install of what is required once I solve this. (Full install takes about twice as long to get booted hehe ) Running this on an old Dual Pent 233 system with 128 mbs ram, if that helps.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

[fryfrog]

so, you run:


# make -f Makefile.dist
# CC=gcc3 CXX=g++3 QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-gcc3 ./configure
# make
# make install


and it says it fails on make install? are you sure make is completing? try putting "make && make install" just because if make fails, it won't try and run "make install".

check /usr/local/bin/ and see if maybe it did install.

[Knighttime]

I ran:

make -f Makefile.dist
./configure
make && make install

when I go into the /usr/local/bin I see showeq.C and one other file. (not at home right now, so I cannot tell you exactly what it it). When I run that (just for grins) I get a message about showeq 3.02.

I did do the export commands before running make -f Makefile.dist....

[Mr. Suspicious]

make -f Makefile.dist
./configure
make && make install


Do as Fryfog mentioned and do:

export CC=gcc3
export CXX=g++3
export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-gcc3
make -f Makefile.dist
./configure
make
make install

line by line and waiting before giving the next command after the previous one has been completed (and succeeded). That way you will know at what stage the error occurs and what the error is. If you run the commands "make && make install" and an error occurs in the make stage, then indeed make install will fail aswell, resulting in a slew of errors, burrying the make errors.

Also follow the directions in the INSTALL.newbies (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/seq/showeq/INSTALL.newbies?rev=1.3&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup) file.

[Knighttime]

Ok, got it working.

Thanks Guys.

What I was following was a set of directions from another thread and using the QT RPM files from there. Apparently, that was what was causing the problem. When I used the instructions listed, and did a fresh compile of QT, it worked fine.

Thanks
