Bug 38471 – building of arts-1.1.5 fails with error message: "checking for Qt... configure: error...

• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Geir Erik Nielsen 2004-01-16 17:24:46 UTC]

When updating arts to 1.1.5 as part of the upgrade to KDE 3.1.5, arts fails to compile with the error message: "checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.1.0) (library qt-mt) 
 not found. Please check your installation! 
 For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log. 
 Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support!"

Further investigation into the config.log file shows that this has to do with opengl not being installed (or incorrectly installed):

snippet:

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. On a system with a previous version of kde, and not opengl, do emerge arts
Actual Results:  
See the details field 

Expected Results:  
compiled 

This should be pretty easy to fix by making the ebuild of arts have a 
dependency on opengl

uh, that should be handled already by the Qt library?.

Are you using the nvidia drivers?

[Comment 2 Paul de Vrieze (RETIRED) 2004-01-17 03:08:27 UTC]

Try opengl-update, if that fails remerge qt.

[Comment 3 Geir Erik Nielsen 2004-01-17 04:08:27 UTC]

Yes, I am using the NVidia drivers supplied by NVidia themselves as I was having problems with an earlier Gentoo package of these drivers.

opengl-update was present in the system when the error occured, and I had emerged qt beforehand as well. Only be emerging opengl and then emerging qt again did the problem resolve itself.

[Comment 4 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2004-01-18 06:43:03 UTC]

The problem lies with opengl and nvidia drivers.  Unfortunately there's not much on the Qt front we can do to fix it if you make changes after emerging Qt, other that the re-emerge that you've pointed out.
