Andreas, Many thanks for your prompt answer. I use openSUSE 10.3 and thought I already had Qt4 installed. Looking at the Yast package list, it would seem that this is so. I do not remember how I installed the QtDesigner - I don't think that it came in a suse rpm package, as yast does not show it.
I was wondering at the version number of my QtDesigner (3.3.8). Can I assume that it should be 4.4.x if Qt4 is used? I confess to have been wondering at the strange numbering of QtDesigner, but concluded, evidently quite wrongly - and stupidly - that it must be separate numbers from the Qt version. Ah well, write it down to old age... Thanks again, Al.
