Marc,

I post in this forum because I have an error installing the version 2.9.1. and I though it was the correct forum.

OS: Debian Jessie
Architecture: x86_64

I configure the installacion with ./configure and everything is all right until there. After I run "make" I got the following error:

cd QGpCoreTools/ && ( test -e Makefile || /home/esteban/anaconda3/bin/qmake /home/esteban/Downloads/geopsypack-55items-src-2.9.0/QGpCoreTools/QGpCoreTools.pro -o Makefile ) && make -f Makefile

I suppose the error must be related with qt4 installation. I already installed. When I write in terminal:
qmake --version i got.

QMake version 3.0
Using Qt version 5.6.0 in /home/esteban/anaconda3/lib

I also check with the command: dpkg -l | grep qt4 to check if I have installed all the necessary package for the geopsy installation, I got:

Am I wrong thinking the error is with the qt4 package? do you have any advice to be able to successfully install the package?

Thanks for any advice.

Hi Marc,

I am trying to install Geopsy in a linux debian Jessie, 64 bits. Try with the last three different versions of Geopsy (2.8, 2.9 and 2.10) all of them break in the same part.

in the step to run 'make' it crashes and always shows me the same error (attached below), I think it must be with the qt package, when I run 'qmake -version' in tirminal I got:

QMake version 3.0
Using Qt version 5.6.0 in /home/esteban/anaconda3/lib

I don't know what may cause the problem in addition to the qt package but I know it is well installed.

Many thanks for the feedback and the help.

Hi,

You have to switch to the development release with one of the latest snapshots. The "testing" release does not support Qt 5. Only the devel does.

If you want to install the "testing" release, you can temporarily redirect the current "qmake" to the qt4 equivalent.

First check that qtchooser is available:

Code: Select all

$ which qmake
/usr/bin/qmake
$ ls -l /usr/bin/qmake
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 15  2016 /usr/bin/qmake -> qtchooser

If so, to get the list of installed Qt releases:

Code: Select all

$qtchooser -l
qt4
qt5

Before running the ./configure from Geopsy, define QT_SELECT

Code: Select all

$ export QT_SELECT=qt5
$ /usr/bin/qmake -v
QMake version 3.0
Using Qt version 5.6.1 in /usr/lib64
$ export QT_SELECT=qt4
$ /usr/bin/qmake -v
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.8.6 in /usr/lib64/qt4

If you do not have qtchooser, you can define a symbolic link or an alias from qmake to qmake-qt4. An re-run ./configure.
