Slavek, Darrell,

  I am having fits with a handful of packages in 3.5.13 with the configure error:

configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.3 and < 4.0) (library tqt-mt) not found

  Of course it isn't found, the file is qt-mt (/opt/qt3/lib/libqt-mt.so). The
configure.log discloses the actual error:

configure: 22827: /opt/qt3/include/qstyle.h
taking that
configure:23062: rm -rf SunWS_cache; g++ -o conftest -Wno-long-long -Wundef

-ltqt-mt -lpng -lz -lm -ljpeg -ldl  -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE  -lpthread 1>&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltqt-mt

  The problem is that nowhere in the code that I can find is there anything that
would generate -ltqt-mt instead of -lqt-mt?? Meaning -- All of the pkgconfig
files are correct. The pkgconfig files at issue are:

  /opt/qt3/lib/pkgconfig/qt-mt.pc
  /usr/lib/pkgconfig/tqt.pc

BOTH CORRECTLY list -lqt-mt and NOT -ltqt-mt...

  So my question is "How in the heck can the build generate a config that looks
for -ltqt-mt when the only thing the pkgconfig files point to is -lqt-mt?"
