Did the remove QT and re-install only the basic packages thing... still nothing. Did some more reading and searching and finally came across what appears to be the solution - I didn't read close enough in the first place... the app I was playing with will only work with QT 1.4*. Seems to work if you install Qt1.44 and export QTDIT to that. Haven't tried it, and I don't think I will for now. Thanks for the ideas and suggestions... it lead me on a chase through some interesting bits of Linux I probably wouldn't have tried. I think I might have learned something.

well I still think you got a dependency problem.
I got krecord source here and ran .configure on it. It detected qt.
I then uninstalled libmng and libmng-devel rpms. I removed config.cache and ran ./configure again and it would not find qt anymore:
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 2.2.1) (libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
If I was you I would uninstall all your qt packages and only install the ones you actually need (qt, qt-devel) and then make sure the dependencies of those two packages are met. It is clearly a dependency problem and not a qt issue in itself.
