Qt version conflict

[ivandiaz]

Dear all,
Naif? Maybe...
I am trying to install in linux ubuntu 20.0.4. the geopsypack-scr-3.4.2. After some mistakes I reach the step "configuring"
(base) ivan@ivan-ThinkPad-P51:~/GEOPSY/geopsypack-src-3.4.2$ ./configure -prefix /home/ivan/GEOPSY/geopsypack-scr-3.4.2
*** ERROR *** : your Qt version is 5.9.7.
At least version 5.14.2 is recommended.
If you want to skip this version check,
add option -skip-qt-check.
Error while configuring geopsypack. Check above messages.
If you want to contact support, send a copy of the whole output.
Here after the copy of line added in the file /home/ .bashrc, please read the last line
export PATH=/home/ivan/miniconda3/bin:/home/ivan/miniconda3/condabin:/home/ivan/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/ivan/SEISCOPE/cwp_44R18/bin
export PATH=home/ivan/GEOPSY/QT/5.15.2/gcc_64/bin:$PATH
I do not know how to make to recognise the new path!!! the version Qt 5.9.7 is what is included in miniconda in these time.
Please, some idea can be very useful...
Many thanks in advance,
Amicalement,
Ivan Diaz

Hi Ivan

export PATH=home/ivan/GEOPSY/QT/5.15.2/gcc_64/bin:$PATH

You probably forgot the first "/" before "home"
If you run

Code: Select all

ls /home/ivan/GEOPSY/QT/5.15.2/gcc_64/bin

Do you get something without error?

Best regards,

Marc

Dear Marc,

Many thanks for your help. It is really useful!!
You are right. It was enough to make a suggested change.
Nevertheless I would just ask if my configuration will be a success... as I have TWO directories with the same name (geopsypack-scr-3.4.2), after to make:
1)./configure -prefix /home/ivan/GEOPSY/geopsypack-scr-3.4.2
2)make -j 8
3)make install
The tree steps were done in "(base) ivan@ivan-ThinkPad-P51:~/GEOPSY/geopsypack-src-3.4.2$ "
At the moment I have to directories with really different subdirectories and I am asking if this situations can provoke some kind of conflicts.
And it will be my last question...
Thanks in advance for your help,
Ivan

The "ls" was just to test if your path was correct. Apparently it is so.

The -prefix option is define the destination directory when you run "make install". To make things properly, it should be something different than the source directory. To things even better, you should separate the source and the build directory. In this way the source directory is left untouched. Several configuration can be maintained in parallel sharing the same source directory.

To avoid potential conflicts, I recommend that you

• remove /home/ivan/GEOPSY/geopsypack-scr-3.4.2
• unpack the downloaded archive
• run configure -prefix /home/ivan/GEOPSY/install -builddir /home/ivan/GEOPSY/build -march native
• make -j 8
• make install

You should get everything ready in /home/ivan/GEOPSY/install
