Have you tried to rebuilt all the prerequisite as well?

   They're all the current versions:

QScintilla-2.6.1-i486-4
libspatialindex-1.7.1-i486-1_SBo
qwt-6.0.2-i486-1_SBo
psycopg2-2.5.3-i486-1_SBo
gdal-1.11.2-i486-1_SBo
numpy-1.9.1-i486-1_SBo
libspatialite-4.2.0-i486-1_SBo


Those are all the current versions in the SBo repo but some of them are out of date and should be updated. Doing so is not entirely straightforward - here are the issues:

1. latest qwt is 6.1.2 (this is where I started since I needed it for a separate project). There is another problem with qwt - it installs its .prf & .pri files in the wrong location (this is due to qwt itself, not the maintainer) so that when building related software, qmake can't find necessary config & installation information about qwt. I'll email the maintainer separately about that.

2. libspatialite is now at 4.3.0a. Actually, wget of 4.2.0 returned "ERROR 404: Not Found.", so this should be updated regardless.

3. freexl is required by libspatialite (not sure why it doesn't appear in the list above) but the version 1.0.0i in the repo is not acceptable to libspatialite-4.3.0a. Latest freexl is 1.0.2 which is good for libspatialite so freexl version should be updated in the repo.

4. qgis itself doesn't immediately like the updated qwt-6.1.2. This is really because it has its own (now outdated) version of qwtpolar software. By configuring qgis not to use its internal qwtpolar and pointing to location of an up to date installed version of qwtpolar, qgis is able to build to completion. However there is no qwtpolar in SBo at the moment. I have a qwtpolar SlackBuild ready to submit (or for someone else to submit/maintain is they want it) but it depends on the changes to qwt mentioned in point 1 above.

All these issues are interrelated and should be fixed at roughly the same so that everything will keep working. Actually, its not working right now unless you happen to have an old version of libspatialite handy. I'll email qwt & qgis maintainers about potential changes. Can version updates of libspatialite and freexl be done directly in SBo repo, or will they need updates from maintainers?
