need help with getting kdevelop to recognize qt and kde libs

[Jeremy Webster]

Hey there.

I'm new to this kdevelop thing and I noticed some threads from this list
that
seemed related to my problem so here it is.

I'm fairly new to unix/linux, and I've been trying to teach myself how
to generate applications.  I recently downloaded the kdevelop RPM put
together by Troy Engel for red hat 6.0 on intel x86 (although I'm
running
6.1, I figured it was close enough).

My problem is this - when I begin a new project with the Wizard, and get

to the point where you click the "Create" button, kdevelop goes through
a long sequence of checks, one of which is ...

    checking if Qt compiles without flags... no

Then at the end of all the checks it says...

    checking for kde libraries installed... configure: error: your
    system fails at linking a small KDE application!
    Check, if your compiler is installed correctly, and if you have used

    the same compiler to compile Qt and kdelibs as you did use now

    ***failed***

Now, kdevelop then starts, and i can make a standard C++ file and it
will compile and build fine.  But if I try to include any of the Qt
libraries, the linker cant find them.

I don't quite know how to "Check, if your compiler is installed
correctly, and if you have used the same compiler to compile Qt and
kdelibs as you did use now" since I didn't personally compile ANY of
these things.

I'm a bit puzzled.  Is this a result of my installing a 6.0 package on a

6.1 machine?

i'm running a brand new Red Hat 6.1 and I checked the package list and
qt-devel 2.0.1-5 and kdelibs-devel 1.1.2-9 are indeed installed on my
system. As well as qt-1.44.  The qt libs are in directorys under
/usr/lib.

Is there anyway to fix this without too much work? Or am i
going to have to try uninstalling kdevelop and then compiling it from
source?

Or am I hoplessly lost?

For what it's worth, I'm very impressed with kdevelop in what I've been
able
to do so far.

Thanks
