configure: error: GNU gettext tools not found; required for intltool

Solution, in this case for SLES 11:

# yast -i gettext-tools

intltool

During the build you get, in this case by pidgin:

configure: error: The intltool scripts were not found. Please install intltool.

Solution, in this case with SLES 11:

# wget http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/intltool/0.35/intltool-0.35.5.tar.bz2
# bunzip2 intltool-0.35.5.tar.bz2
# tar xvf intltool-0.35.5.tar
# cd intltool-0.35.5/
# ./configure && make -j8 && make install

libQt

Problem, in this case by umtsmon:

./umtsmon: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Solution, in this case for SUSE 11.3:

yast -i qt3-32bit

libQtDBus

Problem, in this case from skype:

skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtDBus.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Reason: You do not have the 32bit libraries for Qt.

Solution, in this case for SUSE 11.3

yast -i libqt4-32bit

libQtGui

Problem, in this case from skype:

skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtGui.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Reason: You do not have the 32bit libraries for Qt.

Solution:

yast -i libqt4-x11-32bit

libXm

Symptom: When installing an rpm (in this case ICAClient) you get an error like

error: Failed dependencies:
        libXm.so.4 is needed by ICAClient-11.0-1.i386

Solution: Install openmotif-libs, best for 32bit and 64bit.

You can find out what package a file belongs to after installing the rpm like this:

rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libXm.so.4
openmotif-libs-2.3.1-3.13

libxml2

You must have libxml2 >= 2.6.0 development headers installed to build.

Solution

# yast -i libxml2-devel

libXv

# rpm -ivh Downloads/RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm 
error: Failed dependencies:
        libXv.so.1 is needed by realplay-11.0.2.1744-1.i386

# yast -i xorg-x11-libXv-32bit
