I'm trying to compile a program using cmake which has a dependency on libQtWebKit_debug.so. According to yum provides, that library is supposed to be in /usr/lib64/ but it is not there:

yum provides */libQtWebKit_debug.so Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit 1:qt-devel-4.8.5-10.fc20.i686 : Development files for the Qt toolkit Repo : fedora Matched from: Filename : /usr/lib/libQtWebKit_debug.so 1:qt-devel-4.8.5-10.fc20.x86_64 : Development files for the Qt toolkit Repo : fedora Matched from: Filename : /usr/lib64/libQtWebKit_debug.so

Reinstalling the corresponding package (qt-devel) did not help either: yum remove qt-devel, followed by yum install qt-devel.

  • what does locate libQtWebKit_debug.so return? Commented Dec 31, 2014 at 13:13
  • How are you determining it's not there? What's the output of your whatprovides command? Can you ls the file? Commented Dec 31, 2014 at 15:21
  • locate libQtWebKit_debug.so gives no results, the same for ls. Commented Dec 31, 2014 at 15:32

You are right. There seems to be some change which dropped file /usr/lib64/libQtWebKit_debug.so from package qt-devel sometime after version qt-devel-4.8.6-13.fc21.x86_64 (<- have that file) vs. qt-devel-4.8.6-18.fc21.x86_64 (<- do not have that file).

Looking into changelog Bug 1168259 - qt-devel contains some webkit components which probably were not meant to be included seems to be the cause:

# rpm -q qt-devel --changelog | head -n 16 * Wed Nov 26 2014 Rex Dieter <[email protected]> 1:4.8.6-18 - omit previously-overlooked webkit bits (#1168259) * Sun Nov 09 2014 Rex Dieter <[email protected]> 1:4.8.6-17 - Broken qmake_qt4 in /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.qt4 (#1161927) * Mon Nov 03 2014 Rex Dieter <[email protected]> 1:4.8.6-16 - macros.qt4: standalone, improved %qmake_qt4 macro (sync'd with qt5 version) * Sat Nov 01 2014 Kevin Kofler <[email protected]> - 1:4.8.6-15 - sync system-clucene patch from qt5-qttools (some QDir::mkpath in QtCLucene) * Sun Oct 26 2014 Kevin Kofler <[email protected]> - 1:4.8.6-14 - build against the system clucene09-core (same patch as for qt5-qttools) * Tue Sep 16 2014 Rex Dieter <[email protected]> - 1:4.8.6-13

So I would ask in the bugreport or mention this fact to the author of the software you are trying to compile.
