I thought I had all the dependencies sorted, having compiled a few times before.
apt-get build-dep amarok thinks so.
but i am getting this error:

I removed the QT analyzer from CMakeLists, same error.

here is the output of configure:

Im using: 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.46-1 i686 GNU/Linux
and todays checkout from git
any ideas gratefully received.

Are you sure you have all Qt packages needed?

Git pull from master again, I've just fixed it.

thanks, you certainly did.
