Any reason lib qt isn't available in FC4?

It's used by the kernel makefile with 'make xconfig'; seem odd not to provide it.

You are looking for qt-devel

make xconfig shows:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt

shouldn't the error message be:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt-devel

if it was looking for qt-devel? Kernel make file bug?

Even if the kernel is looking for qt-devel shouldn't it be included in the std distribution? You might prefer/need doing a make xconfig so it's obviously an important component.

Seems it should be installed in:

/usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib and /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib

files in /etc/ld.so.conf.d look fine.

So what do 'we all' need to do to install qt-devel?

Rest assured, you're chasing ghosts. ;)

The Qt packages are called "qt" and "qt-devel". The former for run-time needed libraries. The latter for software development, compilation, etc.

Install the qt-devel package, then source /etc/profile.d/qt.sh and try again.

. /etc/profile.d/qt.sh

If it still doesn't work for you, are you on i386 or x86_64? What is in /etc/profile.d/qt.sh?
