upgrading qt4 on a Fedora 8 system

[pdoria]

Hi guys

Since Fedora 8 is EOL (and has been for a long time! ) I need to know how to upgrade QT4 on such a server...
Yum is out of the question, of course...

The first thing that came to was downloading the source (qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.6.2) and compiling/installing it but I'm dealing with a x64 system so I'm a bit unsure about paths...

(yes, I'm willing to overwrite the yum install with this...)

One of my pre-requisites is Postgresql which I assume is this switch -qt-sql-psql during ./configure ..

What I really care about here is paths...

Could someone please assist me on a proper install?

Best regards,
Pedro Doria Meunier

Ok... I've installed it..
set the following envvars (for root -- is it enough?) :

QTDIR=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.6.2
QTINC=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.6.2/include
QTLIB=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.6.2/lib

QTDIR=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.6.2
QTINC=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.6.2/include
QTLIB=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.6.2/lib

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

now each time I start the app (compiled against Qt 4.6.2) I get this:

undefined symbol: _ZN16QCoreApplication21setApplicationVersionERK7QS tring

Don't exactly where to start to solve this ...

Any pointers highly appreciated!

BR,
Pedro Doria Meunier

Hi, check with ldd <yourProgram> if it really uses your Qt 4.6.
If not, add the path for the Qt 4.6 *.so files to /etc/ld.so.conf (in a line before the location of the wrongly used Qt libs) and run /sbin/ldconfig as root to update library cache.
