Hi all,

I'm new this linux (6 weeks old) and I wanted to try ktorrent 3.1.1 as I liked the earlier incarnation. 3.1.1 make was going fine until 67%. Here is my output:

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, rbjscv

What happens if you do "locate qformlayout.h"?

What version of KDE do you have? What version of Qt? What distro of linux are you using?

I tried this just as you said (without quotes), as sudo, and checked to see if it was a package that I had loaded - just in case. Nothing showed up in any of these ways. I'm probably missing something simple - that's usually what happens.

KDE Desktop 4.0
Ubuntu Hardy 8.04
qt3-dev-tools 3.3.3.8.b-0ubuntu-3
qt4-qtconfig 4.3.4-0ubuntu3

I think I got that all right.

Ok, I'm also on Ubuntu.

Make sure source repositories are turned on in the System Menu -> Software sources,
then try "sudo apt-get build-dep ktorrent-kde4" to make sure you have everything you need to build ktorrent.

The file you're missing is in the libqt4-dev package.

FYI, "kde4-config --version" will give you your exact KDE and Qt version.

You need Qt 4.4 or later

Not trying to be dumb. And I'm honestly working hard at understanding how to compile 3.1.1

I've searched launchpad for QT 4.4 but find nothing. I just don't understand what I'm looking for. Guess I need it spelled exactly.

If you install KDE 4.1 you get Qt 4.4 installed automatically. (see kubuntu website for package repository)

Anyway I have gotten rid of QFormLayout, which should result in 3.1.2 to be compilable with Qt 4.3. 3.1.2 will be out in the next few days, so you could also wait for that.

Thanks for the heads-up on upgrade. I'll just wait and meanwhile see what other mischief I can find. Just having fun.

Solved problem by removing all of KDE4 and then reinstalling thereby upgrading to 4.1.. nothing else worked. Then easily installed ktorrent 3.1.1 with synaptic. Once you said it worked from kde4.1 I was home free. Thank you for the guidance.
