As I said, I installed 'FCPackage' from source.  I installed all four packages in: "/usr/X11R6/" 
because that appears to be where Qt expects to find them.  Also, I used the: "Xft.h" from Xft[2].

The RPM: "Xft-2.0-1.i386.rpm" contains the files:

/usr/lib/libXft.so.2
/usr/lib/libXft.so.2.0

So you need to make a link.

	/usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so -> /usr/lib/libXft.so.2

After removing all other: "libXft.so" links (if they exist).

Note: be sure to run [as root]: ldconfig after making any library links.

Yes, the headers you need are in: "/usr/include/Xft2/X11/Xft/"

You need to make sure that Qt finds the correct: "Xft.h".  The easiest way to ensure this is to 
make the links:

	/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h -> /usr/include/Xft2/X11/Xft/Xft.h
	/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/XftCompat.h -> /usr/include/Xft2/X11/Xft/XftCompat.h

The problem with this is that Qt might find: "/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h" since: 
"/usr/X11R6/include" is already on the search path.

If you make the link for: "libXft.so" as stated above, then you won't need to do this.

As I said somewhere else: are you certain as to which: "Xft.h" was used to build Qt?

I note that there is a downside to this method.  You will no longer be able to build anything 
against: Xft[1].

I also note the you might need to do something about: "/usr/lib/pkgconfig/xft.pc" If you try to 
build: "pango-1.1.4 from source.
