For details please look in the config.log file created by configure. To further diagnose your exact issue you would need to attach your config.log file to a post.

Enjoy,

I am also having a problem from qt being found, it is in the bin dir where it should be and works as well, recompiled as well just to make sure, no errors...

well i tryed another compile and still no go same error.
ill attach that log file you were talking about to the post.
also i noticed when i goto my uic directory and do a uic -version it says 3.0.5 wich is the old version of qt that comes with redhat 8, dunno if thats any significance.

[newport]

I believe you need to remove / uninstall the old version of Qt before installing the new one.
I seem to remember having this problem some time ago when ShowEQ updated from the original QT version.
I think you will find all the un-install info the the documentation that comes with QT.

[junk]

Like I said in another post:

uic is NOT part of the qt base package, you have to also get the qt-devel package. uic is a compiler (User Interface Compiler), it makes sense that it would be distributed in the development package.

[Theka]

ok question about that i search for qt devel and seen a 3.2.3 redhat rpm. now since im compiling 3.2.3 qt on my rh 8 box can i install this rom and it will work or do i have to build that from a source?

[junk]

If you're building the base qt package from source, I'd build the qt-devel package from source as well. I don't know if you HAVE to, but that's what I would do.

[Cryonic]

If building from source (e.g. a tar.gz file) then you will get both the bin and dev stuff.

If building from a src.rpm, then you will still get the qt and qt-devel rpms (just make sure you install them both).

This could be a similar problem to the one posted here, Zaphod posted a possible solution at the bottom.
