I give up. In all the years I've been compiling apps for Linux I've 
never had so much trouble with Qt except on Debian systems. Qt had a 
perfectly good method of allowing multiple versions to coexist nicely, 
but Debian's policy has trainwrecked more builds than I care to recall. 
I like Debian otherwise, but I truly despise their policy towards Qt. I 
inevitably wind up wasting a lot of time setting and resetting 
environment variables, linking directories and subdirectories, rewriting 
include statements, et cetera ad nauseam.

Setting QTDIR on a Debian system normally involves this export:

    export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3/

But of course that doesn't work in this case.

Any further advice or suggestions ?

Best,
