@fieldqt said in error after ./configure:

install anda update qt

Version 4.8.7?!
Are you sure you want this ancient version?

[fieldqt]

@jsulm Yes, unfortunately we need this version. :( I'm like a newbie in linux and etc, in your opinion, a newer version will solve the problem?

That struct is part of OpenSSL library.
Did you install it and which version?

[fieldqt]

OpenSSL 1.1.1k FIPS 25 Mar 2021

[jsulm]

@fieldqt I think for Qt4 you need OpenSSL 1.0 or even older.

Hi,

If you really need that obsolete version of Qt, check whether your Linux distribution provides it and use that one. It will be way simpler.
If your distribution does not have it, you'll have to install an older variant that does. I think Debian 11 was still shipping it.
