Crash on Launch of Parallels, log attached

100% reproducible --> happens every time I try to launch, so I never get to a place where I can enter a key or install an OS.

...and there's no uninstaller :-(

I did submit this via reports@, as requested by Parallels when I watched the crash in the Terminal.

 

Have you Qt 4.1.1 installed (or another version)? This may cause this problem.

 

I do see the reply in another thread on how to uninstall, so no worries there. Don't want to uninstall, of course ;-) I'd much rather figure out and fix the crash.

 

As a matter of fact, I do. What's the solution here? Uninstall Qt 4?

How is Parallels seeing Qt 4 if it has the Qt framework embedded in it?

 

No

Qt Framework is installed at /usr/local/Trolltech (by default) you can simply rename /usr/local to /usr/llocal (for example) and everything will work. But if you ned Qt you must rename it back.

This problem will be fixed in future releases.

 

I build Qt from source so, for this test,

sudo make uninstall

did the trick and I was able to launch. Can I just build Qt in a different directory? I love Qt by the way, and I'm glad to see you're using it... could I interest you in upgrading to 4.x

 

No this don't help you, because Parallels uses Qt 4.1.1 for gui and when Qt is installed on host Parallels is "conflicting" with installed version of Qt (I say only about 4.x version).

 

can't you just static link parallels to qt?
(for the next release)

 

We use bundle for this (e.g. we have own version of Qt inside of Parllels bundle).
This problem will be fixed in next beta version.

 

It's all good, now

I'm running the release version of Parallels now (purchased a key and everything) and just configured, built, and installed Qt 4.1.4. I have no problem launching Parallels and running it side-by-side with Qt apps (like Designer, or Google Earth). Everything's good.

Thanks for a great product You've made my work life much easier.

 

Still Crashes here with Build 1940

Hello,

I am still having this problem it looks like it has been solved for Scott? What is the current status of this bug? It is very frustrating to have to move my trolltech dir around, as we use QT for development getting rid of it is not an option.
