~40 seconds or so on my 2.4GHz Core 2 duo (Linux raven 2.6.26-2-amd64 #1 SMP
Fri Mar 27 04:02:59 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux) box for the complete

ctest --verbose -R pdfqt

command to finish.  So obviously something is really wrong on your system.
Could you confirm all other ctests are reasonably speedy (less than a minute)?
For example, what about

ctest --verbose -R epsqt

and

ctest --verbose -R pscairo

?  Are all qt tests slow or just pdfqt?

Forget my idea of somehow having a very low default ctest timeout.  As
far as I can tell that is 1500 seconds by default which should be fine for
all our tests except for systems where there is something really wrong
for some/all of the tests.

I am using the downloadable sdk (which contains Qt-4.5.1) you can get from
TrollTech. Perhaps that is why my results are so speedy compared to
yours.  What version of Qt4 do you have?  What Linux distro?  (Mine is
Debian Lenny).
