Ok guys. Did not realize I was sending in html. E-mail app format on 
auto.  Hopefully this time it's just text.

I'd really like to figure this out but as I pointed out in the initial 
post I'm a relative newbie to Linux. As such, your answers make only 
semi sense to me. 

I'm logged in as root so rights should not be an issue.
I am not using rpms, unless I'm missing something here.
I installed Qt, embedded and X11, as per the instructions with no 
problems. Qt seems to function fine, tried a few things in it using the 
examples, kinda fun actually, so I assume it loaded all those headers 
and development tools.

What I don't get is I'm already running KDE and Quanta so why won't the 
update just load? Since these apps already work and are less than 2 
years old why shouldn't the updated app work off the same dependencies? 
And the only app I want is Quanta.

I don't expect things to be Win easy, I'm from the pre-Win days of Dos 
and I enjoy the whole Linux command line and configuring thing, but this 
is a good example of why more people are not Linux users since getting 
answers to problems is sometimes a bit difficult.

Although this difficulty is a plus for some of my customers whom I've 
setup with Linux desktops as it keeps their employees from loading 
non-business apps :)

Its not enough to have Qt libraries, you must have the Qt headers and 
development tools as well (as Eric said, this is mostly in -dev 
or -devel packages). And I'm sure you will need more such packages, 
like the kdelibs-devel.  ;-)
