I'm working on a freshly-installed Ubuntu 14.04.3 system, and I've used the synaptic package manager to install qt4-designer, qtcreator, libvtk5.8-qt4, libvtk5.8 libvtk5-qt4-dev, and libvtk5-dev, as well as anything else snyaptic deemed to be necessary prerequisites. Nothing was git-ted, downloaded, or make-ed, I just used what was in the standard repositories.
Selecting the designer from qtcreator to edit the 'Form', I have the usual assortment of containers and layouts and things, but I do not have a QVTKWidget. Even though everything I've read says that it should be there, it's not. I've copied the /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/designer/libQVTKWidgetPlugin.so file that libvtk5-qt4-dev installs to every directory I've found that people recommend copying it to, but I still don't have a QVTKWidget in creator.
I know this *should* work, since I had a QVTKWidget in creator when I was running Ubuntu 12.04. It disappeared after I upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04, never to return. I have a .ui file that was created in 12.04 that contains a QVTKWidget object, and I can clean and remake the project, and everything compiles, links, and runs just fine, so I don't think anything is missing. But the QVTKWidget is no longer there in the list of things I can drag into the design window.
Help! I want my QVTKWidget back!
Thanks,
Steve
