Failed deps qt

[Chadley Wilson]

Hi Guys 

I am stumped or I need to be informed.
I have downloaded an alarm/timer application called cloxen

it swears about these deps -- see below

When I check my system I have got qt installed. What now?

I checked for an update on qt from fresh and livna and I have the latest 
available!


root@chadlap timers]# rpm -ivh cloxten-0.1.7-1.pa.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libqt.so.2 is needed by cloxten-0.1.7-1.pa.i386
        libqtintf-6.5-qt2.3.so is needed by cloxten-0.1.7-1.pa.i386
        liblcms.so.1 is needed by cloxten-0.1.7-1.pa.i386

You have qt3 installed
and not qt2.  The app needs to be ported
to qt3. It seems you also need lcms.  rpm -qi lcms on my FC2
system shows http://kde-redhat.sf.net/ as the packager. On
my FC3 system I compiled this myself.

you should not look for an update there, as qt3 is included with fedora core

that's old qt2

and that's littlecms -> pre-extras

better get the src.rpm and rebuild it - if it fails because it wants
old qt2, see whether you find a qt2 src.rpm, redhat 9 or so came with
it

qt2-devel*.rpm, surely? Something like
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/qt2-devel-...
or
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/qt-devel-3...

(When compiling a src.rpm, you don't need all the source to its
requisites, which is what the qt2 src.rpm would (partly) give. You just
need the headers and anything else the -devel RPMs would give. And the
src.rpm you're recompiling, of course.)

*-devel RPMs invariably have dependencies on their base libraries, e.g. 
qt2-devel would require qt2 (otherwise there would be no library to link 
to) so you'd have to install that as well. Hopefully it wouldn't 
conflict with the current qt package.

Paul.

P.S. OK, a -devel package could be self-contained if it had a static 
library and you linked to that library, but that's unusual.

no, the qt2 src.rpm, which to rpmbuild --rebuild to make it compatible
with fedora core and  the changed c++ abi
