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 On Friday 27 Feb 2004 15:30, BandiPat wrote:

Dear All Occasionally I have tried to compile various programs which are not available as rpm's for SuSE8.1. However, it rarely meets with success due to ./configure not finding the qt libraries. The following is typical output at the end of running configure:
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0) (library qt-mt) not found. Please check your installation! For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log. Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support!
I recall someone on this mailing list saying that it was essential to install all of the -devlop packages and more as per the list on http://www.suse.co.uk/uk/private/download/linuks/i386/update_for_8_1/ devel.html. I have installed all of these and everything related to qt3 but to not avail. I have also added configure options such as --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt3 etc but that also makes no difference.
I'm sure there must be a very simple answer but I can't find it. Can anyone offer some explanation or hints about what I could try.
Incidently I've updatee to kde3.2 or as much as is available for SuSE 8.1 on the apt website using synaptic (the kdenetwork related updates don't yet seem to be available.
Thanks John Satherley

Have you tried using "export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3" in your shell, before starting the compile? Also, do you have QT3 3.0 or greater installed? I believe it's just a matter of you pointing the configure to your QT3. Did you run /sbin/SuSEconfig after updating your KDE?
Just some thoughts, maybe something will click.
