Unsolved ubuntu installation of qt problem
Hello I have problems on installing qt-x11-opensource-src-4.3.1 with Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. I followed the instruction on the INSTALL and README file that's unzipped from the archive.... Had errors on x11 so I followed the instructions on
nts/qt-x11-opensource-src-4.3.1/lib -lrt -lpthread -lXext -lX11 -lm -ldl
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [../../lib/libQtGui.so.4.3.1] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/cisnarf/Documents/qt-x11-opensource-src-4.3.1/src/gui'
make: *** [sub-gui-make_default-ordered] Error 2
I badly need to compile qt on Ubuntu. By the way I used the same qt install (qt-x11-opensource-src-4.3.1) on Mandriva Linux 2007 and the installation went smoothly.
but I get a different error this time.

Xext is X server extensions (as follows from name). You need to review all ubuntu (I use mandriva. still waiting for 2008) packages and find one with libXext....so file.
Done googling. Something like. But first search your official ubuntu repositories.
http://www.google.com/search?client=oper…=utf-8&oe=utf-8
http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/libdevel/libxext-dev
http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/libs/libxext6
If you have one (libXext.so.x.x.x) and do not have libXext.so then do symbolic link
As I remember (but check documentation of ln). Edit. I think this step is not needed.
] cd /usr/lib
] ln -s libXext.so.6.4.0 libXext.so
I have not used linux quite a time. Something could slipped. Install devel package also (I think dev package will solve everything).
