I have all the qt libraries (release -47, non-mt release -49) installed as far as I can tell but it makes no difference. I still get the following output from ./configure: checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.1.0) (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 have also redownloaded the source to see if that makes any difference and it doesn't. Over the weekend I tried doing this exercise on my machine at home which has Suse 8.0. Curiously ./configure run Ok and it said I could run make. However, it didn't compile correctly, there seemed to be some missing -devel libraries associated with KDE which are do not seem to be available on my personal addition of Suse 8.0. So it was still not possible to obtain a running version. Can you check please if you can compile and install? On my suse8.1 machine I've tried a number of ./configure options telling it exactly where qt can be found but it makes no difference. I wonder if there is some incompatiblity with versions? For the time being I'll steer clear of upgrading the kernel and xfree. Thanks for help on this problem. Perhaps I need to wait till I've installed suse9.0 before I can get this to work properly.

Defenitively, your qt3 installation is somehow broken or you took the wrong source.
I've just downloaded http://staff.mbi-berlin.de/gerlach/Linux/LabPlot/src/LabPlot-1.2.3.tar.gz
and made a simple ./configure on my Suse 8.1:
checking for Qt... libraries /usr/lib/qt3/lib, headers /usr/lib/qt3/include using -mt checking if Qt compiles without flags... no checking for moc... /usr/lib/qt3/bin/moc checking for uic... /usr/lib/qt3/bin/uic checking whether uic supports -L ... yes checking whether uic supports -nounload ... yes checking if Qt needs -ljpeg... no
all is fine, ready for make.
If you have the 8.1 qt3 really installed (release -47, non-mt release -49) then -from my point of view - it can be the source only.

P.S. don't upgrade the kernel or xfree unless you really know, what you are doing, i.e know how to cope with the issues that will show up.
