QCAD 3.0.0 Professional and Fedora 18

I just installed QCAD 3.0.0 on a fresh installation of Fedora 18. It works great! However the installation took an additional step that I thought I would share here.

I began by following the lead from the Fedora 17 topic on this forum, making sure to have the appropriate 32-bit libraries loaded, specifically:

Code: Select all

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
This was insufficient and I continued to receive Segmentation Fault errors. It wasn't until I stumbled upon an article by James McDonald that I found an additional step:

Code: Select all

cd ~/opt/qcad-3.0.0-prof-linux
./assistant
Apparently 'assistant', which is the help system for QCAD, recognizes and fixes a problem that the qcad binary is unable to recognize and fix.
