Coincidently, I just came across this from the Rosegarden FAQ:

/
2.8.  I'm having trouble building with Mandrake 8.2

Aren't we all? Mandrake 8.2 appears to have a badly broken default
development environment. The necessary tweaks to make your system build
Rosegarden correctly are involved and lengthy and probably best left to
Mandrake themselves to explain. All in all if it doesn't work out of the
box for you then it's probably best if you just forgot about Mandrake 8.2
altogether and try either 8.1 or a later version.
