I'm running Fedora Core 5.

I have installed the qt-devel 3.3.7 RPM package, but when I run ./configure on the tarball, it comes back with:

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.3) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.

I think the problem is that the configure script looks for /usr/lib/qt whereas mine is at /usr/lib/qt-3.3 (not a logical place to put it, in my opinion, but that's Fedora for you). How can I circumvent this without breaking anything? Should I use a symlink, or rename the directory, or change the configure.sh?

Thanks for your time reading this.

Just do ./configure --with-qt-dir=YOUR_QT_DIR
that'll do it

Or you can do a symlink (because other applications wanting to build off of qt may look there also).

Thanks for your help, after adding the path to /usr/lib/qt-3.3 and installing some more KDE source RPMs, the installation was successful. This beta works much better than before, I haven't changed the settings yet, I wait until it gets slow before I fiddle around with those.

ktorrent is much better than azureus in my opinion, I like the UI and it comes with a number of very useful plugins. I look forward to automating the process further.
