Re: [Xen-users] Upgrading to Xen 3 on Fedora Core 4

Hi Henning,
  Thanks very much for your help. I've never configured a Kernel before. The
make ARCH=xen menuconfig
Command worked. I've added support for SCSI and RAID10 so hopefully that'll
do it.

The error I was getting with
make ARCH=xen xconfig
was:-
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt

I have qt installed with all the required packages -devel, etc. I've read
posts about -lqt now being -lqt-mt which is what I appear to have:-
ldconfig -p | grep qt
shows libqt-mt.so installed.

I don't know how to get it to pickup the right libqt-mt.so file. I've tried
creatig a link and a symbolic link (ln -s libqt-mt.so libqt.so) and updating
ldconfig but neither worked.
