Installing Qt 4.6 in OpenSuse 11.2

This is a quick how-to in installing the latest, as of 12/24/2009, Qt framework 4.6 in OpenSuse 11.2.

By the way, Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework. It can be used to develop web-enabled applications and user interfaces once and deploy them across Windows, Mac, Linux/X11, embedded Linux, Windows CE and Symbian.

Download the binaries from http://qt.nokia.com/. As of this writing, the latest version is 4.6 which comes with a lot of new features especially the multi-touch aware which is pretty much what is expected from latest generation of smartphone applications.

Change to the directory where the file was downloaded, like:
$: cd /home/username/ $: chmod u+x qt-sdk-linux-x86-opensource-2009.05.bin

What we just did was to make the file executable. Finally, install the application by running the following command:
$: ./qt-sdk-linux-x86-opensource-2009.05.bin

See below for screen capture while installing Qt.


Note that Qt SDK needs additional software to work properly, like gcc and related libraries.

The following add-ins could not be started MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform

Installing MonoDevelop in OpenSUSE 12.2 from its repository was very easy. When running it for the first time though I got the message: The following add-ins could not be started: The root of the trace shows MonoDevelop.GnomePlatform,2.8 A quick search shows that MonoDevelop depends on libgnomeui . This should have been part of dependencies when installing the application but well.... Below is the screen shot of the error message.

Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file install VirtualBox 4.1.8 on Ubuntu 11.10

Tried to update my Ubuntu host today and it did pickup that new version of VirtualBox is available (4.1.8). All other packages installed properly except that VirtualBox installation was complaining about missing dkms.conf file, see error message below. $: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup * Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] * Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file. File: does not exist. [ OK ] * Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS [ OK ] * Starting VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] Though it looks like installation was fine but I am concerned about its effects to VirtualBox functionality. To fix this, do: $: cd /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost $: sudo rm -r 4.1.4 $: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup Of course you have to re
