[Gambas-user] RedHat 9 , gambas and Qt.

[Charlie]

Salut,

for a diffent propose I installed a RedHat 9, but allways had a look to 
gambas.
I also tried to install gambas, in this case Gambas-0.74

If got like all of you the well known Error:

usr/bin/gbx: relocation error: /usr/lib/qt-3.1/lib/libqt-mt.so.3:
undefined symbol: _ZNSs4_Rep11_S_terminalE

But if got it to run:

- RedHat 9 (Shrike) use qt-3.1.1

- so I'v got first qt-3.3.0b1 the latest source from Trolltech
I was able to make a running gambas without the 'undefined symbol: 
_ZNSs4_Rep11_S_terminalE'

- BUT ran in big troubles with KDE.

- Now I toke a older Qt version, but newer then qt-3.1.1 from RedHat 9.
I toke qt-3.1.2

- After unpacking, and renaming to qt-3.1.2 in /usr/lib

- I made a symlink, named qt3 which points to /usr/lib/qt-3.1.1 , placed 
in /usr/lib
In /usr/lib type 'ln -s qt-3.1.2 qt3'
This I dit to be able to change easier, without logging off/on.

Befor compiling this version I tried to do like Trolltech say in INSTALL.

I created a .profile (I use the bash as shell) with all the env-variables.
But that ditn't work, because RedHad 9 ditn't use it or to late.

I had to change that in:

/etc/profile.d/qt.sh (if your shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh)

# Qt initialization script (sh)
if [ -z "$QTDIR" ] ; then
#	QTDIR="/usr/lib/qt-3.1"

#   I point to symlink qt3
	QTDIR="/usr/lib/qt3"
	PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
	MANPATH=$QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH
	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
fi

export QTDIR PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

not in .profile like in qt - INSTALL (if your shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh)

or in /etc/profile.d/qt.csh (in case your shell is csh or tcsh)


# Qt initialization script (csh)
if ( $?QTDIR ) then
          exit
endif
#setenv QTDIR /usr/lib/qt-3.1

#   I point to symlink qt3
setenv QTDIR /usr/lib/qt3
setenv PATH $QTDIR/bin:$PATH
setenv MANPATH $QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

not in .login like in qt - INSTALL (in case your shell is csh or tcsh)

--- This one is NOT tested by me ( I use bash)

then, you will need to login again



Now you have to run ./configure  and gmake ( or make)in /usr/lib/qt-3.1.2.

Read  after ./configure the output, if you need to run ./configure -thread

After a successful gmake/make,

return to your gambas Dir, and if you have had a go.
Start './reconf' and 'make clean'

Now do the 3 './configure' , 'make' and 'make install' as root


Some of this actions has to done by 'root'.

Gambas starts now and I could open examples and run then, KDE ditn't 
show problems.
But I dit NOT go for long time testing.

Hope that helps all RedHat 9 users.

Amicalement
Charlie
