hi april

librecad works on a fresh install with the qt4 sfs from quickpet.
seems you might have installed a pet that has conflicting qt4 libs, any idea what?

Probably Phil but doesn't the new pet from quickpet overwrite the existing entries? It does not give any errors when downloading the QT4 package and saves it as an .sfs file which seems to then get loaded . I Unloaded and reloaded without changing the result .

I can delete the existing .sfs and download the new one without changing the result also so I'm wondering what else I can do to find the problem . Are you absolutely sure it loads OK on a new install ?
You have actually done that yes?

I have an AMD chip and I am wondering if that might affect it in any way differently to other chips . That has been known before. I have a lot of extra stuff in my save file so starting a new one is not what I want to do but maybe I'll try that with a basic load with pfix and save the result in a special savefile

it's this a frugal install?

Yes it is Phil . I am trying a fresh install with puppy pfix=ram atm
Don't remember the QT4 package taking so long to download so maybe the QT downloader was finding it on my machine and not downloading it at all and not telling me .

make sure to install the quickpet from the first post

OK confirm it works OK with pfix=ram and now I can use it thanks .

I'll go back and delete the .sfs again and try to download it again and see if that fixes my main savefile

Nah did that and the problem persists. I suppose it must be something linked to the QT package but outside of the .sfs file .

Perhaps someone with a deeper understanding of the QT4 package might help me out here?

Phil the version you have is very old . This is the problem 1.0.1 Feb 2012 and various helpful changes have been made since then.

Any chance of an update ?
Its in the ubuntu-precise-main but thats the old version

Hey Phil

Is there a quickpet for 64 bit machines?
Say fatdog O/S?

Any plans to do one . Brilliant tool.

A while back I had a conflict with Q4 packages and mentioned it here I think .I noticed I downloaded VLC via Quickpet just now and it asks you to install the Q4 packages again.

This time I did not do so and the program seems to run as expected regardless. I'm wondering if the message to download Q4 libraries is necessary and perhaps installs a different, conflicting version?
