qcad 3 and Fedora 17 64 bit

[stkeesee]

Has anyone masnaged to get qcad 3 and Fedora 17 64 bit to work togather? I know I'm missing some libraries, but not sure what packages I need to install to get them. Information on Google is outdated, and the package lists I have been able to find don't work.

I have had some luck after about an hour of trying different things.
Running Fedora 17 64-bit Scientific, Linux version 3.4.6-2.fc17.x86_64

Here is what I did:

0. download qcad 3.0 linux installer (or the tarball, either one works)

1. set qcad-3.0.0-prof-linux-x86.bin to be executable and run it:
$ chmod +x qcad-3.0.0-prof-linux-x86.bin
$ ./qcad-3.0.0-prof-linux-x86.bin

2. go to install directory:
$ cd ~/opt/qcad-3.0.0-prof-linux/

3. attempt to run qcad binary:
$ ./qcad
./qcad-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
etc. etc. etc. This is where I spent an hour looking everything up.

4. install 32-bit libraries as necessary and cycle back to step 3:
# yum install mesa-libGLU.i686
# yum install libXrender.i686
# yum install glib2-2.32.4-1.fc17.i686
# yum install libSM-1.2.1-1.fc17.i686
# yum install qtwebkit-2.2.2-1.fc17.i686
# yum install glibc-devel-2.15-51.fc17.i686
this last one is especially important

5. attempt to run qcad binary again:
$ ./qcad
and now it works like a champ, and my old qcad 2.2.0 works now as well.

hope this is useful for other fedora folk

Will try that later today. Thanks for the help

Just used the yum installs on Fedora 18 64 bit and now Qcad 3 works fine.
I did not use the version numbers just the .i686

yum install mesa-libGLU.i686
yum install libXrender.i686
yum install glib2.i686
yum install libSM.i686
yum install qtwebkit.i686
yum install glibc-devel.i686
