Chances are, the problem really isn't with the QT libraries.  Check the "config.log" file.  If it's
the same problem I've seen, then for some reason the X libraries aren't being found during that
operation.  I haven't figured out the "why" of this one, but the quick solution is to give the
"configure" command the following two parameters:
--x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include  --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib
Of course, replace the path "usr/X11R6(etc)" with the actual path on your machine.

Then again, if this isn't the problem, just ignore this e-mail.

Good luck!
