Dear Lee
Thanks for your comments. 

I've just tried "export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3" but I still get the same error 
message. I've got the latest version of qt3 (3.3.0)  and I always run 
SuSEconfig after updating any software. I've tried a number of configure 
options but so far they make no difference however, I agree it is probably 
just a matter of hitting on the right one the question is: which one?. If qt3 
is installed properly, which I think it is, then shouldn't configure be able 
to find it by default?

Any other ideas?
Regards
John
