Linux install failure

wgreene

No, that "whe" in the path name is not a typo. I have no idea how
the install program created this bogus path name ;-(

Got any non latin1 char in your path ?

wgreene

No.

Hmm interesting with that failed install, could you check how much QtCreator stuff that was created in /home/whg/Qt5.3.2/Tools/QtCreator/share/qtcreator?
For example, is there a QtProjects directory, if yes, could you post the QtCreator.ini file. Also if there is (probably not) a subdirectory under it called qtcreator? If yes, post the qtversion.xml file.

At the time of failure, the
/home/whg/Qt5.3.2
directory contains these entries:
@
drwxr-xr-x 3 whg whg 4096 Sep 21 08:12 5.3
-rw-r--r-- 1 whg whg 2957 Sep 21 08:12 components.xml
drwxr-xr-x 3 whg whg 4096 Sep 21 08:12 Examples
drwxr-xr-x 3 whg whg 4096 Sep 21 08:11 Docs
drwxr-xr-x 3 whg whg 4096 Sep 21 08:10 Tools
drwxr-xr-x 2 whg whg 4096 Sep 21 08:10 Licenses

-rw-rw-r-- 1 whg whg 115 Jun 29 2012 qt-project.org.html
@
The QtCreator.ini file contains these two lines:
@
[Help]
InstalledDocumentation=/home/whg/Qt5.3.2/Docs/Qt-5.3/
@
That is all there is in the

/home/whg/Qt5.3.2/Tools/QtCreator/share/qtcreator/QtProject

directory.

[andreyc EDIT]: Added @ around code.

Let make sure that the installers are correct.
Could you check if check sums are correct for the files that you have downloaded.

Here is info from download page

Good idea about verifying the checksums, also 2 more questions:

Please post the components.xml file, or if it's too big, just grep Title components.xml and post that.
The README.txt file should be 5597 bytes big and dated July 1 last year. did you edit it?

Hi all!

Any news about this subject?
I ran in the same using the 5.4.0 installer (UBUNTU, fresh install).
This time "exit code" is 1.

When seeking for an answer I noticed the message above:
"/home/whg/Qt5.3.2//Tools/ [...]"
There are two '/' between QT<version> and tool path.
Using 5.4.0 the same double "/" occurs.
Other bug reports (windows) even shows "/" (backslash-slash).
IF this is NOT just a typo in the debug message- maybe something to look after.

Hi again,

I solved it.

Double slash seems to be just a typo...
A newer gcc/g++ made it work!
Before: 4.4; now 4.8 - updated via apt-get - error gone.
Care has to be taken which newer packet to choose. Some remove half of your system during update process...
see: "http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/41145":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/41145

Perhaps the information saves some headache.
