Hello.
When I compile the source codes of kdelibs (3.5.9), an error says that "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt-mt".
Does that mean some devel packages are missed ?
If yes, which packages should be installed ?
Thanks.
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt-mt
Re: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt-mt
Sounds like you need qt-devel (but just a guess). May I ask why you are compiling kdelibs? Do you need that particular version for something?

Hello, toracat.
One reason is that CentOS 5.1 is shipped with KDE 3.5.4, and KDE 3.5.9 adds some new features which I want have a try.
Another reason is, a certain RPM pacakge sometimes contains many things that I don't use at all. For example, usually I only use KMail and KNode, so one choice is to "rpm -Uvh kdepim...", but at the same time, a lot of other things that I never use are installed into my computer altogether.
So I decide to compile (make) the source codes and install software, selectively.
Do you have any better methods ?
Besides, I have already installed qt-devel, it seems not qt-devel's problem.

Re: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt-mt
In an (or any) rpm-based distro, installing from source is something you should avoid especially if that replaces existing files / packages. You would eventually mess up the system. If the installation can be done in an isolated place like /usr/local and does not touch any distro files, then you will be fine. Otherwise, be extremely cautious and you should know exactly what is being installed and where.
