I have the latest SUSE 9.1 x86_64 bit version installed. I am having problems compiling programs (that require kde at least).

I can't configure without performing a export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3/lib64

better use --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt3/lib64

...

after which configure runs fine... but at the make stage I get the following error

grep: /usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.la: No such file or directory

Shouldn't it be looking for the file in /usr/lib64

How can I change it so that it will use the /usr/lib64 libraries?

Try adding --libdir=/usr/lib64 to the configure call

./configure --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt3/lib64 --libdir=/usr/lib64 --prefix=/opt/kde3 still gives me: grep: /usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.la: No such file or directory /usr/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.la: No such file or directory libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.la' is not a valid libtool archive any thoughts?
