Which one click install does not work? And what error message do you get?

Btw, you don’t need any 1-click install for installing avogadro as it is in the standard repos.
Just search for it in YaST->Software Management and install it there. Or run:

sudo zypper in avogadro

What’s this strange path?
How exactly did you install cmake?

It is also available in the standard repos, just install the package.

You need to install libqt4-devel.

I’m also attempting to install an application, and also get essentially a very similar error message:


CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindQt4.cmake:1316 (message):
  Found unsuitable Qt version "" from NOTFOUND, this code requires Qt 4.x
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMake/cdat_modules/qt4_pkg.cmake:2 (find_package)
  CMakeLists.txt:563 (include)

The application I am trying to install does not implicitly support openSUSE, which is why I am attempting to install it from source.

I have installed libqt4-devel, and I believe my PATH is pointing towards usr/bin, where qmake is.

PS: I am new to this forum, and if it in any way is inappropriate to “revive” an old thread please tell me

Hi
Yes, since you don’t say what version of openSUSE your on, always better to start a new thread :wink:

Anyway, just check the qmake is not a softlink a different version (eg qmake-5.1), if still and issue please start a new thread.
