    Default Qt Designer 4 window doesnt appear

    Hello,
    I have been working on Qt4 Designer for some days now.Today I encountered a strange problem.The Qt Designer window just doesnt appear when I try to open this tool.I tried through KMenu->Development->Qt4 Designer but the result is the same.I tried through Konsole and get the follwoing error:
    Qt Code:
    1. [root@localhost mywidgetplugin]# designer-qt4
    2. /usr/lib/qt4/bin/designer-qt4: error while loading shared libraries: libts-0.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Any ideas anyone?

    I forgot to mention some more details....
    host : Fedora 6
    Qtopia 4.3.3.
    Qt4 Designer
    target : cirrus ARM9


    Thanks jpn.....I had just tried reinstalling qt4-designer through
    yum install qt4-designer
    before I read your reply.Now when I try to open qt4-designer from the terminal through
    designer-qt4.I get the follwoing error:
    Qt Code:
    1. [root@localhost ~]# designer-qt4
    2. QWSSocket::connectToLocalFile could not connect:: Connection refused
    3. QWSSocket::connectToLocalFile could not connect:: Connection refused
    4. QWSSocket::connectToLocalFile could not connect:: Connection refused
    5. QWSSocket::connectToLocalFile could not connect:: Connection refused
    6. QWSSocket::connectToLocalFile could not connect:: Connection refused
    7. QWSSocket::connectToLocalFile could not connect:: Connection refused
    8. No Qtopia Core server appears to be running.
    9. If you want to run this program as a server,
    10. add the "-qws" command-line option.
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    When I add -qws to the command this is what I get:

    Qt Code:
    1. [root@localhost ~]# designer-qt4 -qws
    2. Error opening framebuffer device /dev/fb0
    3. QScreenLinuxFb::connect: No such file or directory
    4. Error opening framebuffer device /dev/fb0
    5. QScreenLinuxFb::connect: No such file or directory
    6. Error opening framebuffer device /dev/fb0
    7. ...continues with this message
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    I have no idea how this tool which was working fine a week ago crashed all of a sudden...

    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.

    Default Re: Qt Designer 4 application doesnt load

    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.

    '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.

    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

    Qt Code:
    1. [root@localhost bin]# pwd
    2. /usr/lib/qt4/bin
    3. [root@localhost bin]# ls
    4. designer lrelease moc qdbuscpp2xml qmake-qt4 uic3
    5. designer-qt4 lrelease-qt4 moc-qt4 qdbusviewer qt3to4 uic-qt4
    6. linguist lupdate pixeltool qdbusxml2cpp rcc
    7. linguist-qt4 lupdate-qt4 qdbus qmake uic
    8. [root@localhost bin]#

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

    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?

    Default Re: Qt Designer 4 window doesnt appear

    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?

    Finally this is solved....
    i carried out
    yum install qt-designer

    This installed 3 packages

    ================================================== ===========================
    Package Arch Version Repository Size
    ================================================== ===========================
    Updating:
    qt-designer i386 1:3.3.8-2.fc6 updates 1.9 M
    Updating for dependencies:
    qt i386 1:3.3.8-2.fc6 updates 3.5 M
    qt-devel i386 1:3.3.8-2.fc6 updates 4.6 M

    After the installation was complete qt4 designer started working again!!!!! I think it needed some dependencies, qt-devel may be....
