HI Anthony,

I must get Broadband.

Anyway, I tried the install, and as you predicted, ./configure fell over for a qt reason.

So I went to YaST / software management to see what qt software was present.   Of about  fifty qtxxxx items known to the distribution, only one is installed, which is qt3.  If all I needed on top of that was qt (core components an 800K archive) and qt3-devel (include files and Mandatory libraries - 2MB), I might be in good shape?  But I'm only rough guessing.

Otherwise, I've got to do a 60MB rpm for suse10.2 (not 10.1) or try the reasonably sized FC4 or FC6 .rpm.  But I don't see how they can work if the suse specific binary is five times the size?



regards.... andrew.

Hey Andrew,

According to the latest news on the sourceforge page they have moved 
away from sourceforge. Their new web site download page is listed 
below and has newer fedora, ubuntu, suse etc binaries.

http://download.qgis.org/qgis/

If you do want to try and compile this then the latest source tarball 
is 7.9mb (http://download.qgis.org/qgis/src/qgis-0.8.0.tar.gz).

How ever if you don´t normally compile programs then you will probably 
need to download the qt development packages and other things which 
sounds like it would be very painful for you if I understood you 
correctly that it takes you 1 hour to download 10mb.
