I had some problems getting QT to compile. I edited this script, /etc/profile.d/qt.sh which appears to be used to set QTDIR instead of .profile or .login To compile qt on a redhat 6.1 system, you need to ignore the installation procedure from Troll. 1) make a link from /usr/lib/qt to wherever you installed the qt tarball 2) edit the file /etc/profile.d/qt.sh: # Qt initialization script (sh) if [ -z "$QTDIR" ] ; then QTDIR="/usr/lib/qt" fi export QTDIR 3) relogin, or run qt.sh Later, if you have to switch between different versions of QT, simply change the link. Sorry if this was sent to the wrong place. It isn't really a bug, just a detail to contend with. Dan B
