libqt4-dev is installed. There doesn't seem to be one file; there are several in /usr/share/lintian/overrides. Pointing configure to this doesn't help. Here is config.log. It seems to have found several files but at the end it fails. I had to cut some of it because the server rejected it initially as too big, but I hopeI've kept the important bits, which seem to come at the end.
