Try compiling your app either without QTDIR (unset QTDIR), or with QTDIR > set to /usr/share/qt3 You are my hero :-) the second tip did it: export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt
but why the heck isn't this the same as if i tell configure it this was ./configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3/ --with-qt-includes=/usr/share/qt3/include --with-qt-libraries=/usr/share/qt3/lib/ because this didn't do the job. thank you
