scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.c: In function ‘dialog_checklist’:


2.2. try "make xconfig" got this error
[root@mmc linux-2.6]# make xconfig
CHECK qt
*
* Unable to find the QT3 installation. Please make sure that
* the QT3 development package is correctly installed and
* either install pkg-config or set the QTDIR environment
* variable to the correct location.
*
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `scripts/kconfig/.tmp_qtcheck', needed by `scripts/kconfig/qconf.o'. Stop.
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2



Not sure how to get through this problem.. In 2.2, I installed the qt (yum install qt), but did not help.

Any expert here can help?
