Hi Jon
Yes, to the best of my knowlwdge, KDE was originally designed around Qt. An older
version of KDE means an older version of Qt is on your system. AFAIK, Qt is
compatible with older versions of itself (but I could be wrong).
Anyway, it's likely that you are pointing to an old version of Qt when you do your
compile. The first thing to check is your QTDIR environment variable, Just enter
"env $QTDIR" that should give you the directory it's using. Do an "ls -l" command
on that and see what the versions are on the files. You should see things like
"libqt.so.2.3" (I'm using Qt 2.3.0). If you're not seeing what you expect, then
you're probably trying to compile against an old version of Qt.
I use softlinks to different versions of Qt. That way I can keep old versions of
Qt around I case I need to go back for some reason. That's mainly for devlopment
purposes. For example it worked with an old version and suddenly doesn't.
For linux the things to do to fix this, would be to update the /etc/ld.so.conf
file to use the correct directories and to change the QTDIR environment variable.
After that you need to remove the config.cache file in the Qt source dir, do a
make clean, and run ./configure again before trying to do a make.
