Thanks for the help Hugo. I Ran ./configure as: ./configure QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3 This got me a bit further, but now ./configure is complaining again. This time with the following output. checking whether we want to build PDFedit gui... yes configure: QMAKESPEC environment variable is not set - default will be used. checking for QT qmake... configure: error: unable to find qmake for QT3 I may have to give up on this. I got pdfedit working on an archlinux install, but when editing a .pdf, it was hitting the redline (99% cpu) , which is why I wanted to try pdfedit on some other distros. I've also got Lenny available on the same drive. I'll have a look to see if pdfedit is available there. Thanks again for your help.
