I was trying to install kpovmodeler, but i keep getting an error saying 
that I don't have the QT opengl libraries installed.  I tried looking on 
KDE's website, and on trolltech's website, but I couldnt' find the opengl 
libraries separately.  Does anyone know where I could find these, or am I 
going to have to completely re-install QT?  Thanks for any help!

A bit of info about your system would be great.  Redhat?  Mandrake?
Debian?  Qt version?  KDE version?

If you have a Debian system, you will need to install the KDE-dev
packages, the qt-dev packages, and the qtgl-dev packages. (In cases like
this, apt-get is your friend.)  I assume that RedHat's 'autorpm' can do
something similar.

If your distribution doesn't have a separate Qt-GL library, then you'll
probably have to build Qt yourself.  Just make certain that you do
include the GL stuff.

My problem is that the linker is failing to link against libqt-gl, even
though I hacked the configure script to find it, and the Makefile
produced is correct.  (And this was with the KPoVModeller source tarball
that was released on January 10th.)

I don't really want to hand-build Qt, just to test KPoVModeller...

Slackware 8.0, KDE 2.1.2, QT 2.3.1

I agree with you, I don't want to have to build QT by hand just so I can 
test kpovmodeler, but, unfortuantely, I haven't found a modelere I've liked 
yet.

This is off-topic but I'd really like to know... do you find this
setup sluggish? I have almost the same setup at home (Slack 8 etc.)
and I find KDE incredibly sluggish. It'd sometimes take 30 seconds or
more to fire up a QT app, and not because of lack of ram as it doesn't
go into scratching at all. It just reads from the disk, then waits a
helluva lot, then scratches for a second or two and opens up the
window. What's with that?

It's a K6/200 with 96 megs of RAM and it wasn't slow for Windows nor
Gnome... so I'm curious.

I haven't noticed any very noticeable(sp?)  differences.  My system is an 
Athlon 800 with 256 MB RAM.

Can you post the contents of your config.log after configure fails?  I just 
resolved this problem on a mandrake install and in my case, QT really was 
built with opengl support, but I hadn't installed the devel package which 
provided the neccessary headers.  You should be able to see a bit better 
from config.log what is going on though.

Hello there,

I've collected all(hope i didnt miss any) errors from your output and listed here with

Anyway, hope it helps.

All errors are, I believe linker errors. Where it says cannot find -lxxxx its actually
trying to find libxxxx.a in the standard lib locations. Also from the last error you
do not seem to have glut installed. You can get glut source from http://www.opengl.org
or just get the Mesa-devel
package for your distribution of linux/unix.

Syed hit the nail on the head - the following line is the root of your 
problems:

conftest.C:4: GL/glut.h: No such file or directory

Basically this means you don't have glut installed, or at least you don't 
have the development files installed.  Not sure what the best way to get 
this is for slackware, but I found the following link while poking around 
on google:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/contrib/contrib-sources/libglut-3.7/

There may be something more official somewhere, but I'm not familiar with 
Slackware packages and distributions.

I believe the config.log file is automatically generated by the configure 
script and gives a more detailed log of what the script is doing when/if it 
errors out.
