Procedure for Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10) on AMD64 ...failure?

[vidalia]

Didn't see much about AMD64 Ubuntu users when I did a search, so here goes:

sudo update-alternatives --set qmake /usr/bin/qmake-qt4

The above line should be used, though I'm unsure why this (and not the lines for the previous versions of *Ubuntu) worked... unless they're using more etch-like Debian code for my version.

Also, failed compiling with sudo make install because it said it was unable to create the output window, with the following lines of error:

configure: Running qmake...

/usr/bin/uic-qt4 src/gui/mainwindow.ui -o src/gen/ui/ui_mainwindow.h

Could not create output file

make: *** [src/gen/ui/ui_mainwindow.h] Error 1

This was on a cleanly unpacked directory with a fresh download of 0.0.16 and so I'm trying earlier versions to see if I can get one of those to run. I changed the lines above to ./configure && sudo make install and everything compiled cleanly and with no errors under g++ (which needs to be installed first via apt-get as should qt4-qtconfig).

Anyway, please feel free to contact me at ray dot jenson at gmail dot com if any clarifications are needed or if you want some further commands run for testing. I'm running a tor helper relay and really enjoying learning about how it all works.

I should clarify... everything installed cleanly except the icons, menu options, etc., but I have no problems running from the command line. Not sure whether to classify this as a successful install or a partly-failed install.

make install doesn't install any icons or menu options, though perhaps it should one day. So, yes, it was likely a successful install as far as make install currently goes.

Also, you don't need to sudo just to compile. You just do ./configure && make, and then sudo make install. I'm guessing uic couldn't create the output file because of a permissions error. Feel free to reopen if you find otherwise, though.
