installing Qt in redhat linux

[prerna]

Hi,

I want to use Qt in redhat. I have .RPM files for Qt through which i installed it, but i cannot see Qt icon on desktop or anywhere else how can i start using Qt? please guide step by step as i am totally new to redhat and Qt. Thank you

Packaged Qt is usually just a library package, libraries don't have icons.

Perhaps install the Qt Creator package as well.

ok but unlike in windows/ubuntu installing Qt in RedHat is different which i am not able to do :(

Then this is probably better ask on a Redhat forum.

Hi,
i have installed Qt successfully i think the .run file was not downloaded properly. I had to download again. Anyway now the prob is when i open Qt the Qt design is greyed out and i am not able to see the c++ code attached with it. I read about it i suppose i need GCC for redhat . I have .tar file of GCC can anybody tell me how to install that

Uncle Google does not bite. Read this article (http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/centos-rhel-7-redhat-linux-install-gcc-compiler-development-tools/).

Thank you but i cannot use yum install as i have not registered with RHN

This is not a problem. Look this article (http://saifulaziz.com/2014/02/26/howto-install-redhat-package-with-yum-command-without-rhn/). How do you want to program without having a basic knowledge of the tool (operating system) ?

i am new to Redhat which i have already admitted. And i have used Qt for programming before but that was in Ubuntu and now i have a requirement where they have mentioned the operating system as Redhat linux. So im struggling to find out how this Qt has to be installed in redhat thats all.

I have never worked on linux system before because it was not required!

My advice: use to work CentOS. This is compilation of Red Hat Enterprise Server without RHN limitation.
