I'm in 345, use Mandrake 9 (gcc-3.2-1) downloaded the qt stuff from the web site, the qt rpms (libqt3-3.0.5-7, libqt3-devel, libqt3-devel-3.0.5-7) and everything works ok. I can't run the TA binary on my machine, but I can ssh to a cs machine for that. > > 2. I am also in 455 so I also need to use openGL.
