[Qgis-user] Issues to install QGIS on RedHat 6

[Matthias Kuhn]

After checking again, I realized that I originally did not compile any
version after 2.0.1 because of the fact that the Qt version on RHEL 6 is
4.6. Newer QGIS versions require at least Qt 4.7 (actually even the
2.0.1 release has been modified in order to be able to run with Qt 4.6).

It would certainly be possible to provide QGIS for RHEL 6 with one of
the following options:

 * Patch the QGIS code to remove post-Qt-4.6-features (would need to be
re-done for every QGIS release)
 * Create Qt 4.8 packages for RHEL (would replace Qt 4.6, hence break
other apps)
 * Create Qt 5 packages for RHEL (requires building some dependencies
once and optionally evaluating the status of PyQGIS for Qt5 if plugins
are required)

Best regards,
Matthias
