just an aside....i did the whole routine in SUSE 13.1 and everything came out fine when running the install except the creation of icons/shortcuts.
there is an older version of the program that has a ppa or similar that goes in just fine also, but i wished the newest.

I don't think the problem has anything to do with KDE or QT. It sounds like it is building from source and that requires the installation of some packages. You need the build-essentials package in the repositories. That will not guarantee success as installing from source can be tricky.

QSSTV was unknown to me, so I did a Google...I saw it's based on Qt like KDE. Sometimes KDE applications don't show up on Gnome or LXDE. I also saw mentioned it was offered in the Ubuntu package search. However, I generally prefer Synaptic to install my software, since talk of "make" takes me back to school and Slackware, which I never quite grasped since I had too little time with it. Perhaps it reminds me of a foreign language where some words are male or female...some applications had to be installed with make, while others were binary blobs...both concepts are confusing to me.
Do you think adding the KDE meta-package, or adding a new user for KDE like PcLinuxOS suggested I do would help?Joan in Reno

Just Another Newbie (JAN) here with a question.
In the group looking for users of Zorin Linux. Just put it in, and everything went quite easily. Even networking with xp/win7 worked right out of the box.
But of course their are problems. Trying to get QSSTV installed. Followed all instructions from the QSSTV web page, but the "qmake" command does nothing but return to prompt in terminal window.
Anyone got Zorin out there ?

-- When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. A revolution is good for the soul of a nation.
