So that means the last version I successfully compiled/installed, v1.4.4, used either xforms/qt3. I can neither find any Slackware package containing the characters "xform" installed on my system nor any such package included in the original Slack 11.0 distribution, so I presume qt3 was sufficient for v1.4.4. Nonetheless, it is apparent that I'll need to install both qt4 and qt-devel to successfully compile and install LyX v1.4.5.1 (or higher?).
