Looks like your openssl version is to old/to new.
Why won't you use the Qt4 packages provided by your distribution?

I cannot understand the relation with openssl, but anyway how to solve the problem?

I went to trolltech.com ....this was the only package that seems related to my work ..I mean it doesn`t have any special package for FC8...what do you recommend?

[ChristianEhrlicher]

It's a problem with your openssl headers - see /usr/include/openssl/kssl.h

And Trolltech isn't your linux distributor I would guess... or was Fedora Core bought by Trolltech

sorry, I`m really new to QT (and even to linux)...I couldn`t get what you mean ........I saw the file usr/include/openssl/kssl.h but what should be changed here?
I also tried to update the ssl (using yum update) but it said there is no update........................
is it possible to explain your solution more simply?


is it better to install Source RPM : qt4-4.3.2-1.fc8.src.rpm ...is it suitable and do the same thing?
thanks

comment out the openssl option while configuring Qt

use ./configure -no-openssl

this wont compile Qt for openssl...You can use this option only if you can do away with openssl libraries....
otherwise u need to update openssl libraies first and then build Qt

hi
its too late to go into this thread but i was facing similar problem while installing Qt4

my steps where

./configure went ok
make install sprung errors related to openssl.h header similar one
has the author of the problem could find out the way out with the suggestion of using
./configure -no-openssl since i have to configure again with this


regards
Amrita

Your best bet would be to try installing the compiled version of Qt for your linux flavor. If you have a working internet connection you can try installing it using "Synaptic" on Ubuntu and using "Yum" on Fedora. Synaptic and Yum automatically download and install the dependencies so you don't have to worry about 3rd party dependencies and compilation etc...

If you still want to install it from source, you have to first install all dependencies. Best way is to keep on trying and installing dependent packages as errors appear during compilation.
