error while building qosmic

I know the paths to libxml-2.0.pc and lua.pc but I don't know what to add
or change in qosmic.pro to tell it where these two files are.

check issue # 6 at the top there are a list of packages that I installed to get 
it
going.

I have installed those. I just need to tell qosmic where to find them.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

From your error message it looks like g++ (the compiler) is not found.  Do you 
have
gcc installed?

I'm not sure, I am not at my computer right now. I will check later.

I did a search for files on my hard drive and GCC 4.3 comes up.
The errors are telling me that;

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libxml-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
and
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `lua.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

My question is, what do I put type into qosmic.pro to let qosmic know where to 
find
the files?

I got the xml libraries sussed out. Now I am having trouble with the lua files. 
I
installed lua without problems.

I am trying to install lua. I have put the extracted folder in /home/shawn/ and 
I
want to install it into /home/shawn. What do I put after the "install" command 
to
make this thing work?

Here is my qosmic.pro file:

So nobody is going to help me on this?

I've made an Ubuntu 9.04 amd64 package for Qosmic.  It's in the download area.  
You
can install it using dpkg after downloading.

Since it's not in a repository you will need to make sure the package 
dependencies are
satisfied instead of relying on the package manager to do this.  I'm working on
getting it into a repository, but that may take a little while.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

so is it for 64 bit systems?

Original comment by harlequi...@yahoo.com on 3 Jun 2009 at 7:26

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is really getting stupid. Two days on this post and nothing helpful?
I hope the program is better than the technical support by the people who wrote 
it.

Yes it's for 64bit systems.

Your problem is not with the Qosmic.  Your problem is installing Qosmic on your 
Ubuntu
system.  This is a problem that lies between you, your system, and your system's
package manager.  I suggest you contact an Ubuntu developer to get support for
compiling any software from the source code on your Ubuntu system.

My problem is with trying to build qosmic and having to tell qosmic.pro where 
lua.pc 
is. If someone would just answer the question I asked then I would get out of 
your 
hair. Instead, I have everyone giving me suggestions for everything else.

And why in the hell doesn't issue 10 show up on the list of issues?

Original comment by harlequi...@yahoo.com on 4 Jun 2009 at 12:46

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What, you aren't able to tell me the line of code to write in to make this 
build work?

Issue 11 has been merged into this issue.
