The nonexistance of /usr/lib/qt2 on your machine turned out to be a crucial bit of information. Somehow qt was installed in both /usr/lib and /usr/lib/qt2 on my machine. I'm not an expert on these things, but my theory is that the existance of duplicate libs confused ldconfig etc., so the configure scripts had no idea what was going on.
Anyway, the configure scripts are now working for me in their default mode. Thank you! - Josh > > So here's my question: what files are in YOUR /usr/lib/qt2/lib ???
