Qt Designer 4 window doesnt appear

[jpn]

Well, I wouldn't myself even bother using Qt Designer in frame buffer but use the X11 version of Qt Designer to design my forms.

[raman_31181]

Yeah in fact earlier I had been using X11 version......I guess I installed the wrong version this time......Do I need to delete any files before I reinstall qt4-designer using yum install?
Can anyone please list out the steps for reinstalling qt4-designer X11 version?
I tried with
yum install qt4-designer
but I am not able to use this installed version.Do I need to delete previous Qt4 files before reinstalling?
I already have Qtopiacore 4.3.3 installed on my system.

Anyone can help me out with installation on Qt4-Designer?I tried installing for the nth time using
yum install qt4-designer

but when I double click the shortcut the window just doesnt show up.

I tried opening from the terminal but I get this error

[root@localhost /]# designer-qt4
QWSSocket::connectToLocalFile could not connect:: Connection refused
QWSSocket::connectToLocalFile could not connect:: Connection refused
QWSSocket::connectToLocalFile could not connect:: Connection refused

I guess this is the framebuffer version but I need X11 version.I already have qtopia-4.3.3
installed on my sytem.Can anyone share any ideas?

'designer-qt4' is likely just a symbolic link. Find out where the actual binaries are and launch the X11 version instead of the framebuffer version.

[raman_31181]

I queried for file type of designer-qt4.is is a symbolic link to designer

All the binaries are located at /usr/lib/qt4/bin.
My question is how do I launch the X11 version instead of framebuffer version?
These are the contents of the location

[root@localhost bin]# pwd
/usr/lib/qt4/bin
[root@localhost bin]# ls
designer      lrelease      moc        qdbuscpp2xml  qmake-qt4  uic3
designer-qt4  lrelease-qt4  moc-qt4    qdbusviewer   qt3to4     uic-qt4
linguist      lupdate       pixeltool  qdbusxml2cpp  rcc
linguist-qt4  lupdate-qt4   qdbus      qmake         uic
[root@localhost bin]#

[root@localhost bin]# pwd
/usr/lib/qt4/bin
[root@localhost bin]# ls
designer      lrelease      moc        qdbuscpp2xml  qmake-qt4  uic3
designer-qt4  lrelease-qt4  moc-qt4    qdbusviewer   qt3to4     uic-qt4
linguist      lupdate       pixeltool  qdbusxml2cpp  rcc
linguist-qt4  lupdate-qt4   qdbus      qmake         uic
[root@localhost bin]#

Where does "yum install qt4-designer" install the designer binary? Where did you install qtopia-4.3.3?

[raman_31181]

qt4-designer binaries installed at
/usr/lib/qt4/bin

qtopia-4.3.3 was installed at
/usr/local/Trolltech/QtopiaCore-4.3.3/

[jpn]

qt4-designer binaries installed at
/usr/lib/qt4/bin

qtopia-4.3.3 was installed at
/usr/local/Trolltech/QtopiaCore-4.3.3/

Do you have /usr/local/Trolltech/QtopiaCore-4.3.3/bin in PATH? What if you launch /usr/lib/qt4/bin/designer (without -qt4 suffix).

[raman_31181]

I have this added in /etc/profile file

PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/QtopiaCore-4.3.3/bin:$PATH
export PATH

So I think the PATH is set.Besides I have developed some applications using qtopia.

when I launch /usr/lib/qt4/bin/designer from the terminal I get this:

[root@localhost /]# /usr/lib/qt4/bin/designer
QWSSocket::connectToLocalFile could not connect:: Connection refused
QWSSocket::connectToLocalFile could not connect:: Connection refused
QWSSocket::connectToLocalFile could not connect:: Connection refused

Well, somehow you have managed to put the designer binary of QtopiaCore-4.3.3 to /usr/lib/qt4/bin/. Did you copy files by hand? What does 'ldd /usr/lib/qt4/bin/designer' output?

[raman_31181]

running ldd give this

[root@localhost /]# ldd /usr/lib/qt4/bin/designer
/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/bin/ldd: line 130: /usr/local/arm/3.3.2/lib/ld-linux.so.2: cannot execute binary file
/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/bin/ldd: line 140: /usr/local/arm/3.3.2/lib/ld-linux.so.2: cannot execute binary file
ldd: /usr/local/arm/3.3.2/lib/ld-linux.so.2 exited with unknown exit code (126)

I have designer binary in /usr/local/Trolltech/QtopiaCore-4.3.3/bin.I have posted the contents:

[root@localhost bin]# cd /usr/local/Trolltech/QtopiaCore-4.3.3/bin
[root@localhost bin]# ls
assistant lupdate.debug qdbusviewer rcc
assistant.debug moc qdbusviewer.debug rcc.debug
designer moc.debug qdbusxml2cpp uic
designer.debug pixeltool qdbusxml2cpp.debug uic3
linguist pixeltool.debug qmake uic3.debug
linguist.debug qdbus qt3to4 uic.debug
lrelease qdbuscpp2xml qt3to4.debug
lrelease.debug qdbuscpp2xml.debug qtdemo
lupdate qdbus.debug qtdemo.debug
[root@localhost bin]#

I did not copy any binaries./usr/lib/qt4 folder was created as a result of
yum install qt4-designer
command.

[raman_31181]

Just to confirm whether designer binaries of qt4 and qtopia are conflicting with each other or not I uninstalled qt4 through

yum remove qt4-designer

and tried this from the command line

[root@localhost /]# /usr/local/Trolltech/QtopiaCore-4.3.3/bin/designer
QWSSocket::connectToLocalFile could not connect:: Connection refused
QWSSocket::connectToLocalFile could not connect:: Connection refused
QWSSocket::connectToLocalFile could not connect:: Connection refused

which doesnt seem to work anyway.Any ideas?Is there any other way to install qt4-designer?
