On a debian (testing) machine $ dpkg -l libqt3-dev gives ii libqt3-dev 3.3.4-3 Qt development files (You might prefer another package management tool than dpkg, what I mean is: if you dont have libqt3-dev, install it.) zless /usr/share/doc/libqt3-dev/README.Debian.gz says "If you need to set QTDIR, do export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3" A double-check that qt3 is really sitting there: /usr/share/qt3$ ls this should show: "bin doc include lib mkspecs plugins" Accordingly, ./configure --with-frontend=qt --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3 did the job for me last week. Disclaimer: it may be the case that this generic debian approach does not carry over to ubuntu. In that case protest immediately and loudly! (Modulo that your libqt3-dev version also might be different than 3.3.4-3, I'd guess anything beginning with 3 will do the job.)
