commi not writing, only reading on fc3

[Mark Sargent]

Hi All,

just followed Andy Green's install steps, which went well, for my home 
PC, FC3, but, when running commi with a Catalyst 2900 series XL switch, 
it only reads. Can't seem to input at all. Below are the steps.


*********************************************************
The situation is simpler than that.  When you are compiling source that
wants to bind to other packages, you typically need the
packagename-devel RPM package installed.  In this case it is

yum install qt-devel kde-libs-devel

that you're looking for.  That saves you from having to recompile
everything commi wants to bind to privately.... better to stick with the
RPMs where possible.

You'll also need gcc-c++, check you have it installed

rpm -q gcc-c++

if not

yum install gcc-c++


Then in the commi source dir:

export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-3.3
./configure
make && su -c 'make install'

and what I did via yum.
