Can't make xconfig

  Date: Jan 04    Category: Unix / Linux / Ubuntu    Views: 836
  


I have full kernel sources installed, and could make menuconfig. However, it
might be nice to use the more elegant xconfig. When I attempt to do so, however,
I get the following:

* Unable to find the QT installation. Please make sure that
* the QT development package is correctly installed and
* either install pkg-config or set the QTDIR environment
* variable to the correct location.
*
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `scripts/kconfig/.tmp_qtcheck', needed by
`scripts/kconfig/qconf.o'. Stop.
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2
robert@robert-desktop:/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-15$

What do I actually need? There are lots of "qt" packages. (I don't have KDE
installed, though I could do this. Gnome has thus far met my needs.)

Not all programs require make or make installed after ./configure is ran. You
may need to read the install read me file. If you are installing a new kernel,
beware some times you can hose your system.

Go to synaptics and install qt with its dev package.
It wouldn't hurt to install pkg-config as well.

That, and g++. I still get the following:



scripts/kconfig/qconf arch/i386/Kconfig
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169
Major opcode: 147
Minor opcode: 3
Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169
Major opcode: 147
Minor opcode: 3
Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device

But it doesn't prevent xconfig from opening.

It is having problems with a "Device". Not sure if its an input
device or graphic device. However, if you say "it doesn't prevent
xconfig from starting" (I am assuming X server is working) it may
very well be an Input Device. Do you have a backup of your xorg.conf file that
doesn't give you those errors?
Did this happen after a kernel upgrade?
