I'm having the same problem except that my desired build wants
qt 1.42, but may be it's something Red-Hat specific that the
developers are doing that screws up on SuSE.

A library is shared code that any program can use.

A similar but different thing. The PATH is for executables. For
libraries, the compiler searches ( I think) in all the directories
in /etc/ld.so.conf.

try a "locate libqt". I get
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libqt.so
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libqt.so.1
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libqt.so.1.42
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libqthreads.so
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libqthreads.so.0
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libqthreads.so.0.0.0
/usr/lib/libqt.so
/usr/lib/libqt.so.1
/usr/lib/libqt.so.1.42
/usr/lib/qt/lib/libqt.so
/usr/lib/qt/lib/libqt.so.1
/usr/lib/qt/lib/libqt.so.1.42
I don't know why configure can't find 'em. I'm going to investigate
passing options to configure to force ti to look in the right places...
Yours,
