Hi, first off all I would like to say that I'm new in debian but not in Linux. So, please, be patient with me.
I have instaled a mix betwend sid and woody. I have not a lot of problem installing debian (well, yes, ... installing a printer, but this is another history ...) One of the thing that I liked of the distro is that has gcc3.1. So I installed gcc3.1, and a normal instalation with kde2.2.2 and qt2.3.1. I have installed all the necessary packages to compile any program that needed Qt, or Kde. I don't have any dependencie problem, amb I have installed: libqt-dev*, kdelibs-dev*, etc. I have the libraries in /usr/lib/libqt* and I also have /usr/include/qt/* I have the same problem that have been described in this thread: http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2001/debian-kde-200111/msg00106.html but, unfortunatelly all the things that worked there, don't work with me. At the same time I have been working with Inventor and the coin3d (basically compatible). I have realised that if I tried to compile a simple program (30 lines) I have problems linking. With the inventor, that I have installed with apt-get install inventor, if I do: g++ -lInventor prog-ex-inventor-coin.cpp -o prog-ex-inventor-coin it doesn't link, because didn't find the Inventor libs, but they are: /usr/lib/libInventor.so.... but, with Coin, that I have installed after do: apt-get -b source Coin g++ -lCoin prog-ex-inventor-coin.cpp -o prog-ex-inventor-coin compile, link and works. So which is the difference? I know that I have downloaded the Coin source and I have compiled with gcc3.1 and the Inventor no. But: there's some king of incompatibility betwend compilers? If I have a problem with the libraries, how I can know it? As a note, I have looket how I have configured my home box, that is with Mandrake. They put qt in their own directori: /usr/lib/qt2/lib /usr/lib/qt2/include and the files have simbolics links to: /usr/lib/qt2/lib/ ---> /usr/lib/ /usr/lib/qt2/include/ ----> /usr/includes/ But, int he box with debian, if I run ldconf -v, .... it detects qt, but, ei!!!, comon, I'm running Kde!!!!!! Well, I'm a bit confused, and tired. I don't know what to do now. I think that the both problems have some kind of relation. Maybe when configure check the qt, find some strange thing, and don't understand it? I don't know, otherwise my beginings with debian are no good.
