I downloaded knewspost from here:
http://www.semeniuk.net/linux/knewspost/
There's only 2 download and install possibilities, tarball and rpm. I
went with the tarball. After unpacking the archive, I tried to install
it with ./configure. The procedure crapped out when it failed to find
the Qt libraries. Here is the error message:
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 2.2.2) (libraries) not
found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
After a short Google search, I found this message thread, which is
essentially the same problem...
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/15376
So following this advice...
export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt, I went ahead and did a
export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt and tried .configure again, but got the same
error. I also tried export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3, and again got the
same error when I did ./configure even though qt and qt3 are actually
there.
So, what else needs to be done for knewspost to install correctly?
