Luckily SuSE posts its own qt upgrades. do rpm -Uvh
This make me happy. Nevertheless, otherwise, there are programs which turn tar
balls INTO source rpms. xxx.yyy.src.rpm-i386. one does 'rpm --build <etc>'. I
do not know how to use them ; I need not. (:-} Also one can set the install
prefix. There is too 'check install' (an actual separate program) which keeps a
copious record and handles such situations.
I believe one can have more than one qt running on the system. Thus it was NOT
necessary to uninstall the previous version? You have to give ./configure the
appropriate location option.
There have been many postings on this topic. Will the experts please speak up
and give definitive guidance?
