Installation under ubuntu

Install qtbase/qtpaint under Ubuntu

Requirement

• cmake (>=2.8.1): http://www.cmake.org Lucid Lynx comes with 2.8.0, which is not enough (you need download the source and compile manually); Maverick Meerkat (10.10) has 2.8.2.
• Qt 4.7 (default in 10.10; Qt 4.6 under Ubuntu 10.04 might still work): run sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev and install all the dependencies, or use Synaptic Package Manager
• R 2.12.0: download and compile from source (I'm not sure if Synaptic works); note that you need ./configure --enable-R-shlib if you want to install qtutils

R packages

• check out the source packages at: http://github.com/ggobi/qtbase and http://github.com/ggobi/qtpaint
• run R CMD build qtbase --binary then R CMD install the binary package, or directly R CMD INSTALL qtbase --preclean; similar for qtpaint
