Completely lost!!!

[Zuks]

Hi all.

I know this is not the best thing anyone who is willing to help would want to hear but I am completely lost.

I am working on a project that requires real time graph plotting.
I am using a Aspire one note book, with "Ubuntu 9.10" as the operating system.

I have installed Qt4 and recently installed qwt - 5.2.0

I can not seem to even get the examples running so that I can quickly learn how to use qwt under Qt4.

Can someone please help me get the ball rolling. Please.:(

Without telling us, which errors you get, we hardly can help you. Qwt is a normal library, so just link against it.

Ok I'll try to state what I have done so far.

I downloaded a qwt - 5.2.0 zip file and unzipped it.
Opened a terminal and got inside the qwt directory.

then:
qmake
make
make install

Now when I go inside the examples directory and type:
qmake
make

I get some errors:

You need to make qwt includes and libraries available for your Qt toolchain. As far as I remember the install (or readme?) document for Qwt contains instructions how to do that.

Ok!!
The ball is rolling :)
I know can compile and run programs. I can get started.
