Re: Mandriva questions
What is? There are no files starting qt4- in that directory. There are 3 files with ibase in the name: php-pear-MDB2_Driver_ibase-1.3.0-1.noarch.rpm qt-plugin-ibase-3.3.7-2.i686.rpm qt-st-plugin-ibase-3.3.7-2.i686.rpm None of which appear to be what Tom is after.

I can't see that they're any worse than any other in this regard :-) What's wrong with rpmfind.net? What's more important (to me anyway) is that users actually set their system repo references properly as well. John

Why doesn't mandrivel provide a searchable repo like other distros? is it because they are too keen on being able to charge for the "plus" versions?

Is it the Free or Powerpack (purchased)? There should be no need to rebuild QT from source, make sure you have ALL the QT and firebase -devel libraries installed. If you feel you must use the .src files the correct commandline is: rpm --rebuild(executed as root) John

I have an application that I have written that uses Qt4 and in particular it needs to use the Firebird/Interbase driver. There doesn't appear to be a package for the IBASE SQL plugin, so I figure I need to build Qt myself. So I downloaded the qt4-4.3.4-6mdv2008.1.src.rpm package and tried to install it. First Mandriva warns me that I probably don't want to install it because it's a source package, but I say install anyway, but nothing seems to happen - I can find no trace of the source files being installed. I can always download the source from Trolltech but I'm curious why Mandriva won't install from the package. If I can solve this problem, the next step is that I need to compile Qt4 and then make a package that can be used to install the IBASE plugin on other systems. I'm not really sure where to start with this. Cheers Tom
Re: Mandriva questions
Hi I have been running Mandriva since before mandrake 8. 1st question ... what is the app, is the src in a .mdk package? If so, install the pkg as per normal, it will go into /usr/src/whatever. If it is a tar or similar pkg unpack it to /usr/src/... Konqueror is excellent for this. Open 2 panels, unpack in 1 panel, goto usr/src in the 2nd panel, then drag n drop the appropriate dir across. From there it is a normal compile but test before you install. You will need the src package for your kernel installed before you compile. If the compile bombs there may be other pkgs you need to install also. HTH Barry --- Tom Munro Glass wrote: Do we have any Mandriva experts on the list?
