Hi

I set out to compile jack 0.102.20 under debian/etch. That was easy. Now 
for qjackctl. If I want to install it it will pull old jack with it:

ajstrup:~# apt-get install qjackctl
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
   libjack0.100.0-0
<snip>

That's not good, right?

Well, I thought I'd just install qjackctl from source, grabed it 
(0.2.21) and (after figuring how to set QTDIR) I got this far 
("./configure"):

<snip>
checking whether gcc needs -traditional... no
checking whether QTDIR environment variable is set... /usr/include/qt3/
checking for main in -lqt-mt... yes
checking for Qt library version >= 3.1.1... no; Qt 3.1.1 or greater is 
required

Great. Does this mean I have to compile qt from source?

I feel dependency h**l closing in, and I realize debian is sometimes 
conservative in choosing it's packages, but there must be a better way...

Any pointers greatly appreciated!
