Again, thanks for the help. I got it to compile and run! Woo Hoo.
I now have a weird problem with my install, it will run fine from the local directory that I used to compile it (~/sigil/bin/sigil), but the system installed one (in /usr/local/bin) gives me a,
Code:
sigil: symbol lookup error: sigil: undefined symbol: _ZN9QListData7detach3Ev
Which I think is related to QT and/or paths... sigh... But not your issue.
I also couldn't figure out how to change the PATH for something run from the Applications menu, so I just created a shell script and ran that. Googleing seems to imply that others have had issue with figuring out which file to change for PATH variables on GUI run files (via terminal is straight forward). Again, not your issue.
Now on to epub editing!!
