Be sure to get Qt-3.3.2:

ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-x11-free-3.3.2.tar.bz2

Just install it in the standard location: "/usr/local/qt-3.3.2/".

Then find where: QTDIR is being set and change it.

Find where the " ... /qt*/bin" directory is being added to the PATH and 
change it.

Add: "/usr/local/qt-3.3" to your: "/etc/ld.so.conf" file.  This should be 
just above the entry for qt-3.1.  As root, execute "ldconfig".

Then build it.  DO NOT "make install", it is just built in place and left 
there.  Follow instructions -- you will normally have a long 'configure' 
command:

./configure -system-zlib -qt-gif -system-libpng -system-libjpeg \
-system-libmng -thread -no-xinerama -no-g++-exceptions

If you have any thing in locations other than those that Qt expects, you 
man need to add to this -- see the Qt instructions.

You will need to build aRts and KDE again.  Actually this will be mostly 
relinking.  You need to remove the: config.cache file in each module and 
start by running 'configure' and make sure that if finds the correct Qt 
version.  Make should then do it automatically since the new Qt will have a 
newer date.
