Thanks, I'll give it a shot but there is nothing "wrong" with my setup. I can build qt apps, kde apps, etc. without problem...just not lyx-qt (or lyx xforms for that matter - but I CAN build other xforms apps). The "problem" seems to be based on assumptions made by the configure script on what the system should be like (like Redhat's broken system?). It assumes there MUST be an environment variable called QTDIR set which is not necessarily true except, perhaps, on the developer's system. I just wanted to be able to disable the check on qt that the configure script is doing and let the system just make the qt app like it can with every other qt app I've tried that doesn't make similar assumptions. In the meantime, I commented out all the lines in the configure script in which the qt lib version is determined, created a new entry directly setting qt_cv_libname=Qt3 and let it go from there. It builds and the binary works. It would appear that the gatekeeper in configure is not critical and needs to have a switch settable by the builder. It would allow for a simple sidestep of an erroneous check (for my system - any Mandrake system) and still get a working binary. praedor praedor -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+eNTMaKr9sJYeTxgRAg6mAJ47PpdZ2AeUsuJIRDWSoKHV/PMhIwCeIcXC 4t3cpvTCarw3v+RTFIajzWY= =p2C/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
