I recently installed Kubuntu 8.10 with KDE 4 on a server here at work. I then installed our commercial version of qt-X11-4.4.3. It built and installed with no problems.
When I run the qtdemo though, it doesn't do the animated main screen and the rendering of the text looks like crap. Any ideas on what would be causing this?
Thanks,

Make sure you have suitable dev packages installed while configuring Qt. The configure script outputs detailed information after compiling qmake. Probably installing libfontconfig-dev, reconfiguring and recompiling Qt helps.
Here is the output of the configure script. Can anyone spot what might cause the animated start up and crappy font rendering not work?Quote:

I've since installed libfontconfig1-dev which also installed freetype-dev and xpat-dev.
Any help is appreciated.

Actually, I punted this morning and installed ubuntu 8.04 and re-installed qt-4.4.3. The configure output above is actually from that build. It still has the same problem with the animation not working and the test looking like crap.

I solved the puzzle. I needed to install lots more X11 things such as xrandr, xcursor, xrender and such. Basically when configure said that something wasn't enabled, I installed it. I also installed OpenGL but I don't know which one of these solved the problem I was experiencing.
