Thank you both for the advice. It doesn't sound so complicated. The only thing is, I have no experience with the cmake options, i. e. the only thing I know for sure is ./config, make, make install :) I took a look into my $HOME/qt5, it is empty. I guess it means I have to issue a "make install" to have the readily compiled libraries installed into this directory, and I hope it won't try to write them into the /usr/lib etc... (Although it would fail anyway as long as I give no sudo, right?) When this is done, shouldn't I invoke ./config with the prefix you gave me above, Craig? Or would it be make -DQT_PREFIX=/home/myHome/qt5 Before I do anything wrong, I wait for your answers... Regards Rolf
