Compilation Problems (Qt I think)

[Anonymous]

I keep getting this error when I try to compile:

I'm using RedHat 7.3, with qt, qt2, qt-devel, qt2-devel packages installed.

Any ideas how can this get fixed?

PS: I'm thinking of upgrading, but now it's not possible

You problem is probably that your QT installation is too old of a version.  This is definitely due to the fact that you are running RH7.3.  My suggestion would be to first look for a newer QT rpm. Second to that I would look for a newer OS (ie RH9, MDK9, etc).   As a last resort I would compile QT from the source code.  I would not suggest the last one though, because I once tried to compile it, thinking it would only take about 5 or ten minutes, and it took close to an hour (I think longer than it takes me to compile my kernel) on a 1700 AMD processor.  But you probably wont have to compile, just because you're running Redhat, which is compatible with practically everything.

Eh, I'm using Mandrake 9, and I've got the same problem. So if you do upgrade to mdk, try 9.1.
