Re: caQtDM installation help needed

[Jiro Fujita <jiro.fujita@gmail.com>]

I think your problem is that you aren’t quite using Qt5, although you have it installed.  Here is what I recommend to do; instead of installing Qt5 from qt.io, you may want consider using Qt5 Ubuntu packages.  In fact, as far as I can tell, Pete Jemian has an instruction that probably will work fine for Ubuntu here: 

https://git.aps.anl.gov/jemian/deployments/tree/master/caQtDM/LinuxMint

It is written for LinuxMint instead of Ubuntu, the core is still based on Debian in both cases, so it should work just fine (I think).  At least this way, all the packages needed to install caQtDM is identified for you.
