    Default Qt assistant under linux

    Hi,

    a Qt book told me that there is an assistant for the documentation, I just should call "assistant" from the command line. This doens't work, I've searched my whole hard drive and couldn't find any command "assistant". I've searched my installed packages, I believe that the assistant should be included in "qt3-devel-tools". This package is installed. Any idea how to call the assistant? (Suse Linux 10.0, KDE 3.5, in case it matters).

    Thanks.

    Jochen

    Alt+F2 -> /usr/lib/qt3/bin/assistant
    Better add /usr/lib/qt3/bin in your PATH

    Hi,

    that is missing on my box... (I've double checked on another computer with Suse 9.3, that's fine). Strange why it is missing on Suse 10.0.

    Anyone an idea which package might be missing? Or anyone running Suse 10.0 who can confirm the problem or knows the solution?

    Regads,
    Jochen

    Sorry I'm using custom built Qt 3.3.5 on Suse 9.1
    I can only suggest to open Yast and search for the Qt packages

    The name may differ (it might be for example assistant-qt3). Try "locate assistant". If you have it installed it'll give you a path to it. If not, it means you don't have it and need to install an appropriate package.

    On my SuSE 10.0 system I installed Qt 3 through YaST (assistant is provided by qt3-devel-tools) and the assistant is located at /usr/lib/qt3/bin/assistant for me.

    Can you give us a list of files in your $QTDIR/bin, e.g. enter

    Qt Code:
    1. ls /usr/lib/qt3/bin
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    in a command prompt and post the output here.
    It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice.

    As I know SuSE is RPM-based distro.
    So
    Qt Code:
    1. $ rpm -qf /usr/bin/designer
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    should give you name of PRM package with Qt developer's tools (in my case it is qt-devel-3.3.5-11.0.fc3.kde)

    Next step:
    Qt Code:
    1. $ rpm -V qt-devel
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    If your file was somehow lost you'll get a message.

    Alternate way is use
    Qt Code:
    1. $ rpm -ql qt-devel | less
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    for list all files from package.
