Hey peeps, (trying not to rant!)
I have just switched from ubuntu to Fedora as I would like to learn a more "red hatty" OS. so far so good, in fact I'm really liking it.
The one thing i have noticed is that the package manger and repos aren't a patch on debian/ubuntu.
So it looks like I'm going to be compiling from source a bit more, and thats nothing i'm afraid of in itself. BUT every time i have EVER tried to compile something there is some kind of error, either something has been depreciated or I am missing some kind of dependency, ok not to worry, I'll just check on the net ... queue trawling page upon page of forums etc NONE with the answer, or maybe some with the right answer ... but from the version of the OS from 2005.
I'm trying not to rant here but I'm getting fed up of these issues with using Linux, i really want it to work, but it just seems that unless I am some kind of computer programmer with hours of time to learn a range of OS innards I'm not going to get anywhere
Anyhow, has anybody got the Last.FM player to work on Fedora 11? When i try to compile it I get the problem "Your version of Qt seems to be too old, we require Qt 4.3 or above" however when i try and install Qt it says i have version 4.6 ?
what the heck is going on? I'm very tempted to think that Linux is some sort of vast mess of programmers nonsense.
Sorry for the rant ladies and gents I'm just annoyed and tired, hopefully i wil get to the bottom of this! thanks for listening!
