./configure
says something is missingThe script is generally quite good at telling you what you need to
install; try looking around your package tool (aptitude
or
dselect
on Debian, up2date
on Red Hat or Mandrake, or
kpackage
on most distributions, if you have KDE. See also
Requirements.
make install
says permission deniedMake sure you are root (your terminal prompt should usually end in a
hash ("#") character). To become root, type su
, and enter the
root password. If you're not in charge of the machine involved, ask the
person who is to install EbQt for you.
Make sure you installed EbQt. Or, if you're trying to run it without
installing, you normally need to type ./ebqt
(having compiled
it and gone into eb-lite/ebqt/ebqt). See also
Installation.
Make sure you compiled EbQt. See also Installation.
eb-lite isn't running at the address you specified. Check that you have the right address (including the port number, if you specified a custom one when starting eb-lite).
The address you specified doesn't exist (at least according to your DNS server). Either you made a mistake typing the address, or you have more general network problems. If you can't reach other machines with other programs (e.g. you can't reach any websites with your browser), you should ask your ISP or whoever is in charge of your network.
EbQt can't reach the address you specified. Either your machine or the other machine is not connected to the network, or you gave the wrong address (the address of somewhere that does exist, but is unreachable).
This might happen when the "cookie" numbers are wrong. Make sure you give the same 8 numbers that eb-lite showed when it started, reading from left to right, from the top.
This should never happen, if it does, it probably means that either EbQt or eb-lite has become confused, or simply doesn't understand a particular command it received. Please report the bug to me (Chris Boyle, see Contacting the authors), and if possible, copy and paste the last few lines from eb-lite and from ebqt into the message (run them in two separate terminals).
If you experience some problem that I haven't dealt with above, you're welcome to mail me (Chris Boyle), see Contacting the authors. Try to include as much detail as you think might be relevant.
