The difference is that qt is in qt-copy (and therefore it's as easy as=20
cd $QTDIR; cvs up; make -f Makefile.cvs; configure <some options>; make=20
<some packages>) but autoconf wasn't on cvs.kde.org the last time I=20
checked. Luckily I could install the SuSE 7.3 autoconf.rpm on SuSE 7.2.=20
But I'm quite experienced and our translators might have difficulties=20
with this especially if there isn't an appropriate rpm (or whatever)=20
for their distribution.
But as this issue has been solved in the meantime (Thanks Stephan!)=20
everything is fine again.

Installing is probably not the problem. But before you can install it=20
you have to find it in the first place. A link to this package and some=20
information about how to install it would have been very nice.
