[Uml-user] Bugs and further development of umbrello

Wed Dec 22 13:58:00 UTC 2004

Sorry, I made a mistake. I have the following libs:

/usr/lib/qt3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3
/usr/lib/qt3/lib/pkgconfig/qt-mt.pc
/usr/lib/qt3/lib/libqt-mt.prl
/usr/lib/qt3/lib/libqt-mt.la
/usr/lib/qt3/lib/libqt-mt.so
/usr/lib/qt3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.2.1
/usr/lib/qt3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.2
/usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3

So I don't know, what configure complains about.
