It does not appear to be "found": =========================================== [tim@blanche linux-2.6.12]$ make xconfig HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/qconf /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/qconf] Error 1 make: *** [xconfig] Error 2 =========================================== Why would it be found unless there was a symbolic link? I remain puzzled by this; on my i386 Fedora-4 distribution I find =========================================== [tim@alfred ~]$ locate libqt.so /usr/lib/qt-2.3.1/lib/libqt.so.2.3 /usr/lib/qt-2.3.1/lib/libqt.so.2 /usr/lib/qt-2.3.1/lib/libqt.so.2.3.1 /usr/lib/qt-2.3.1/lib/libqt.so [tim@alfred ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/qt-2.3.1/lib/libqt.so qt2-devel-2.3.1-13 =========================================== There appears to be an x86_64 qt3 rpm containing libqt.so , but it is not in any official Fedora repository. So what should one do? Get an unofficial package containing libqt.so ? Link libqt-mt.so to libqt.so ? Give up on "make xconfig" ?
