i would definatly recommend REMOVING the QT in /usr/local/qt and making sure that you are pointing to the COMPILED version of qt. it souds like MAYBE it is going to the UNCOMPILED version to try and compile showeq, and perhaps barfing.

if all else fails (and i know this is a PITA) i would try removing ALL your qt-2.3.2 installs (note i did NOT say remove all your qt, cause linux probably wants you to keep its original QT).

then, start over from scratch. if you were missing some rpms while compiling qt, it might cause some issues because qt didn't see the stuff so it didn't compile in support for it... make any sense?
