Gnome can't find QT

Feb 5th, 2007

Hello all,

I hope this is the correct forum for this issue.
I am using the FC4 distro which the most current YUM update is QT3*.
I found a more recent RPM, QT4.1* which was for FC4.
It downloaded and installed without a problem (although I can't say that for the doc package).

I now have two versions of QT loaded according to the rpm -q return.

The problem is that I want to use QT4* as a selection from my gnome desktop. It still only shows the old version on the menu and the apps list.

How do I get gnome to recognize the new version? I don't know how it finds the path, since the GUI dialog box doesn't even have a target path function. Does anyone know how this works?

Thanks
