So I am pretty confident now that it is >user(me) error somewhere, somehow. I know this can be frustrating. There are some Archers subscribed to this list and they should be helping you. A lack of responses is status quo in this list. Sometimes I wonder why we bother keeping this mail list active. :( Just a wild guess, do you have qt4 installed in your build environment? If yes then possibly try removing that package in your build environment. Posting a build log might help too. I use the tee command to create a log. Here are my tqt3 configure options. Notice that -platform must be explicitly declared when building on 64-bit. if [ "$LIBDIRSUFFIX" = "64" ]; then PLATFORM="linux-g++-${LIBDIRSUFFIX}" else PLATFORM="linux-g++" fi echo "yes" | \ CFLAGS=$CPUOPT \ CXXFLAGS=$CPUOPT \ ./configure \ -v \ -prefix $INSTALL_PREFIX \ -libdir $LIBDIR \ -release \ -I/usr/include/mysql \ -I/usr/include/freetype2/freetype \ -L/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX} \ -qt-imgfmt-png \ -qt-imgfmt-mng \ -qt-imgfmt-jpeg \ -qt-gif \ -qt-style-motif \ -system-zlib \ -system-libpng \ -system-libmng \ -system-libjpeg \ -shared \ -no-pch \ -thread \ -stl \ -no-g++-exceptions \ -platform ${PLATFORM} \ -cups \ -ipv6 \ -nis \ -sm \ -xshape \ -xinerama \ -xcursor \ -xrandr \ -xrender \ -tablet \ -xkb \ -xft \ -plugin-imgfmt-mng \ -plugin-sql-mysql \ -plugin-sql-sqlite \ -plugin-style-cde \ -plugin-style-compact \ -plugin-style-motifplus \ -plugin-style-platinum \ -plugin-style-sgi \ -plugin-style-windows \ -lfontconfig \ -inputmethod \ -enable-opengl \ -dlopen-opengl \ || exit 1 I hope this helps. :) Darrell
