I just encountered a failure to build with qt-3.3.4-r2 on an AMD64 box 
and am wondering where to report the failure.

The problem was that the (fairly standard) header GL/glxext.h wasn't 
available as GL/glxext.h .  Now, this header *is* on the box, at 
/usr/lib/opengl/global/include/glxext.h , so I just symlinked 
/usr/include/GL/glxext.h to that location, and the build seems to be 
working fine now (it's still running).  I'm assuming that *something* 
just forgot to make the symlink (which appears to be how that directory 
works).

I'm wondering which package would be responsible for making the symlink 
(to know where to report the error)?  Would it be xorg-x11?  
opengl-update?  Mesa?  Doesn't seem like Qt would be the right place for 
the bug report.

If there's an automatic way to figure this out, that would be 
interesting to know for future occurrences.

Thanks all,
Mike
