Cannot emerge qt3, only qt4

[sargek]

My situation requires that I emerge qt3, not qt4, yet when I

Code: Select all

emerge qt

I get qt4. I have an application (binary) I installed manually that requires qt3 (VirtualBox). I would install the VirtualBox version in portage, but it is different than the version from Sun and the usb functionality in the version in portage is broken for me.

So...how do I emerge qt3 and not qt4? I thought about package.keywords, but neither package is masked. Thanks in advance.

Try

Code: Select all

emerge -av =x11-libs/qt-3*

Try

Code: Select all

emerge -av =x11-libs/qt-3*

That did it, thanks! This is my own fault, but the problem I am going to run into is that portage does not "see" any dependencies for qt because the binary I installed was done manually. I guess I could install a small application that depends on qt so portage is happy.

Thanks again.

Had I read http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Installing_Specific_Packages, I would have known this...as a side note, I ended up emerging a small qt application that depends on this qt version so when I run emerge --depclean, it doesn't try to rip qt out. I will try to do more research first next time..
