</div></div>We used the -qt4 postfix (which is a common practice among most distros<br>
these days) to allow for a parallel-installable qt3.<br></blockquote><div><br>Ah, I figured it was something like that. I couldn't find it using the following:<br><br>$ yum provides '*/bin/*-qt3'<br>Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit<br>
No Matches found<br>$<br><br>So I guess the qt3 stuff lives in a repo I no longer have access to, perhaps?<br><br>At any rate, the GNU Autoconf Archive has a AX_HAVE_QT macro that wasn't aware of the -qt4 suffix, along with some other Fedora-specific deviations. I'm going to submit a couple patches to that project in order to make their macro work cleanly on Fedora, especially since things like -qt4 are common practice.<br>
<br>Thanks for the response!<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
