Problem with PyQt/Qt in 11.2

[Budgie2]

I am trying to use puddletag on openSUSE 11.2 machine and I am informed that the problem I have may be due to the version of pyqt/qt I have being too old. (python-qt4 4.6.1-1.1.1) Please could I have some help to install a later version.
Many thanks,
Budgie2

Open your terminal and write

qt-creator

Send the output here.

Also try to install Cmake

su

# zypper install cmake libqt4-devel

Hi Stamos,
Thanks for the reply. Results below:-

Open your terminal and write

qt-creator

Send the output here.

No output just the following:-
If 'qt-creator' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf qt-creator. Just in case there was a typo I tried qt -creator and qt - creator with same result. (Will try as su later)

Also try to install Cmake

su

# zypper install cmake libqt4-devel

This downloaded and installed 49 new packages but application still not working as required. What should I try next please?
Regards,
Budgie2

As before, here is the output:-

cnf qt-creator.

That is all I get.

Have you really installed qt-creator?
Try now to run graphically.

I found something: Maybe qt-creator has stopped to support for openSUSE 11.2. https://build.opensuse.org/package/f...penSUSE%3A11.2

Sorry but I can not find it.

@stamostolias: what's with installing all these spurious packages? This is no way to install a newer version of python-qt4, what were you thinking?

@budgie2: There is no newer version of python-qt4 for openSUSE 11.2, which is no longer supported (reached end-of-life on May 12 this year). You could upgrade your whole distro to 11.4 and it would auto upgrade python-qt4 to 4.8.3-3.2. (a lot of effort though).

Hi stamostolios, well yes I do have qt-creator installed according to yast software management but the command is not recognised in console. I have no idea how I could run it graphically.

Hi Swerdna, thanks for the heads up on end of life but I started my trial of puddletag before 15 May this year. Surely they do not turn everything off on that date! On the other hand my experience with python configobj from packman suggests that work stops as soon as a newer version of openSUSE is extant because the version of configobj on packman dated from 2009.

As for changing to openSUSE 11.4, a glance through this forum should tell me that things are far from OK just yet. Besides I really cannot work with 11.4 because I cannot get the display on older server to work as there is no easy user access to display parameters and I like to have all machines on same version. I believe it is possible to use 11.2 system display but I do not have time to do the migration at the moment.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Budgie2

Hi
Yes they do..., once removed from the master mirror and transferred to discontinued. Once the mirrors sync any repositories will disappear. On OBS, they will turn off the search and at some point the repositories will disappear as well.
