Thanks Riki! I ./configure --enable-qt5, and got the following errors: checking for Qt library name... failed configure: error: cannot compile a simple Qt executable. Check you have the right $QTDIR. Well, on the command line I have no $QTDIR, as proved by echo $QTDIR. Is there some other switch I needed to use on the ./configure line? By the way, I have both qt5 and qt5-devel installed.
