Cannot configure - cannot find QT

[Robert Knight]

I get this as well.  I discussed the problem on IRC and someone
suggested that it might be because I was compiling Qt with visibility
enabled (ie. fvisibility=hidden appears in the g++ command lines).  I
haven't had time to recompile Qt without this though.

Regards,
Robert.
