Well, that is certainly an interesting theory, however, I just 
downloaded Phonon again from:

	http://download.kde.org/stable/phonon/4.7.2/phonon-4.7.2.tar.xz

And the include files installed in:

	/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4/include/phonon

I specified only:

	/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4

Please note the lower case.  Obviously, if an include statement is going 
to find this directory, the case is going to have to match the case of 
the directory as installed.

Since you say that the upper case is not an error, I will put in a link 
as a kludge to finish my installation and look into the issue further 
this evening.  UTC -7 time.

For now, I am puzzled.

No, I am using the standard Linux file system with UTF-8.

No, the headers are there.  It is just that the word 'phonon' starts 
with a lower case 'p'.
