Hi Brian, I think the consesus is that a 'make install' is not required. That being said, you need to make sure /etc/ld.so.conf contains '/usr/lib/qt3/lib' (or whatever directories contain the qt3 libs), then run ldconfig to update the libraries once qt3 is installed. Alternatively, you can create the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH (read this, http://www.visi.com/~barr/ldpath.html) and set it to include the path to the qt3 libs. HTH, Tim
