    Default Qt 4.2.3 centos 5.0 - cannot find -lXext

    Hello,

    I am trying to compile the Qt 4.3.2. I configured using:
    ./configure -no-qt3support -qt-sql-sqlite -qt-zlib -qt-gif -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -no-xshape
    COmpilation runs fine for a while then stumbles with:
    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext
    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
    gmake[2]: *** [../../lib/libQtGui.so.4.2.3] Error 1
    gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/qt-x11-opensource-src-4.2.3/src/gui'
    gmake[1]: *** [sub-gui-make_default] Error 2
    gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/qt-x11-opensource-src-4.2.3/src'
    gmake: *** [sub-src-make_default-ordered] Error 2

    Any idea on what the problem might be?
    Thank you

    Yes, Xext library is not found Install package libxext6 or simmilar.

    the command:
    yum install libXext-devel.i386
    seems to have solved the problem (still compiling though) and that library also took care of the missing XShape. Thanks
