I'm having trouble installing Vidalia, a graphic-interface for the control of TOR and Privoxy. I had it working on my MINT 4.0 system and it was great. But I'm having trouble getting it to work on sidux. And I learned from past experience NOT to try to use Ubuntu packages to try to set up sidux!!!
This is what I did:
I installed TOR using Meta-packages.
But because there is no graphic-interface, its hard to use. So I I tried to install Vidalia using the directions at http://konsumer.wordpress.com/2007/12/21/tor-privoxy-vidalia-debian-sidetch/
I began by entering this code in Terminal:
wget -c http://vidalia-project.net/dist/vidalia-0.0.16.tar.gz
tar zxvf vidalia-0.0.16.tar.gz
apt-get install qt4-dev-tools qt4-designer
export QMAKE=/usr/bin/qmake-qt4 (for sid)
cd vidalia-0.0.16
./configure
make
make install
BUT, when I entered the code “ export QMAKE=/usr/bin/qmake-qt4”, error messages appeared and I wasn't able to continue. The error messages read as follows:
root@siduxbox:/home/Ray/vidalia-0.0.16# ./configure
configure: Configuring vidalia 0.0.16...
checking for g++... g++
checking for C++ compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C++ compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes
checking whether g++ accepts -g... yes
checking for win32... no
checking for Qt >= 4.1.0... ./configure: line 2330: /usr/bin/qmake-qt4: No such file or directory
./configure: line 2330: /usr/bin/qmake-qt4: No such file or directory
./configure: line 2330: /usr/bin/qmake-qt4: No such file or directory
no
configure: error: Vidalia requires Qt 4.1.0 or greater. You may need to install
Qt development packages, or you can specify an explicit path using --with-qt-dir
root@siduxbox:/home/Ray/vidalia-0.0.16# make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
What went wrong? What must I do to get Vidalia to run in sidux? I am studying in China where many (sometimes most) foreign websites are blocked and I rely on TOR, Privoxy and Vidalia to circumvent the “Great Firewall”. I'd greatly appreciate any help. |

Why you don't use TorK?
It's in Sid, nothing to compile. |

Thanks!
I'll try installing libqt4-dev and see if that works.
michaaa62, have you successfully installed Vidalia before? I'm wondering if there's anything else i need to do. What steps will ensure it installs smoothly.
And thanks towoj. I looked for TorK, but I couldn't find it. i'm running 2008-02 version of sidux. Does that TorK have Vidalia with it? I like Vidalia's graphic interface. How do I start TorK?
Thanks again |

I just tried installing libqt-4-dev.
But the process failed again. This this is what Terminal reported:
root@siduxbox:/home/Ray# apt-get install libqt4-dev

What is wrong now? Any suggestions? I'd really like to get Vidalia up and running! |

Code:
apt-cache search libqt dev
libqt3-headers - Qt3 header files
libqt3-mt-dev - Qt development files (Threaded)
libqt4-dev - Qt 4 development files
libqt4-opengl-dev - Qt 4 OpenGL library development files
libqt4-qt3support - Qt 3 compatibility library for Qt 4
libqt4-sql - Qt 4 SQL module
qt3-assistant - The Qt3 assistant application
So may be you also need libqt3-mt-dev and libqt4-qt3support. I really thought, they were dependencies of libqt4-dev. Did you already compile other programs for the desktop? You may need other KDE related develpment packages also.

Hi
I just read up on TorK, installed it and am very impressed! What a great array of functions to ensure secure (or quite secure) communication and web-browsing.
My deepest thanks to the team who made TorK- I'm going to show it to all my student friends overseas who would benefit from it (installed on sidux of course)! |
