hi arnold,
i am having different problems installing tapstart.

well, installing 'ofqf' was almost trivial, i only had to change the 
QTDIR ntry in my .bash_profile to point to qt4 and to logout and login 
again, than it got builded.

but now, running scons on tapstart, i get following error:

scons: Reading SConscript files ...
Checking for pkg-config (at least version 0.0.0)... yes
Checking for QtCore...  yes
Checking for QtGui...   yes
Checking for ofqf (0.1.1 or higher)...  no


so what is the problem?

i already was runnung 'updatedb' as root and 'ldconfig' too, also i 
tried restarting the machine.
the fact is:

/usr/local/include/ofqf
/usr/local/include/ofqf/qoscclient.h
/usr/local/include/ofqf/qoscserver.h
/usr/local/include/ofqf/qosctypes.h
/usr/local/lib/libofqf.so
/usr/local/lib/libofqf.so.0
/usr/local/lib/libofqf.so.0.1
/usr/local/lib/pkg-config/ofqf.pc

the pkg_config_path in my .bash_profile looks now like:

export 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkg-config


so, ofqf installed her .pc file in /usr/local/lib/pkg-config, and 
usually on my system the dir is called 'pkgconfig' and not 'pkg-config'.

but still i do not understand, i extended the PKG_CONFIG_PATH with 
/usr/local/lib/pkg-config and still it does not work.
i also tried to cp ofqf.pc into /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, but this is 
not helping either.


arnold, i hope that you have some better idea than me?!

cheers,
doc

p.s. scons is v0.97-0d20070809-1 from debian-testing
