  • Help Installing qpdfview and QT on RHEL 8.4

    Posted on

    I'm a bit green here and with RHEL server management so forgive me if I'm asking something really obvious, or doing something dumb, but I have been unable to find info on installing this package on RHEL.

    I'm trying to install 'qpdfview' on RHEL 8.4 test server and running into trouble with dependencies. Would like some advice. Our production server has a GUI system that requires this package, so I'm trying it on the test server first.

    Summary:
    - dnf : says it can't find the package "qpdfview". Am I missing a repo?
    - rpm binary: I tried installing a downloaded CentOS binary on our test server and that led to many missing dependencies.
    - looks like the centos binary needs 'qt4' installed, but I can't see a candidate package via repo / dnf

    -- dnf --

     dnf install "qpdfview"

    Not sure about how safe a CentOS 8 binary is but I'm stuck and its a test server.... Is this right way to go about it? Should I go and install the CentOS 8 QT4 from rpm binaries?

    The package binaries for CentOS 8 and other OS's can be found here:
