I think that's what's wrong. Probably indicates that you don't have some qt3 development library installed. In order to compile a qt3 dependent app, you need the qt3 development libraries installed. Qt3 is an application development platform; kde is based on qt.
In general, you will see "devleopment libraries" associated with many applications. Normally, they are not automatically installed. These development libs carry the info ncessary to recompile the app. Missing development libraries is a common reason for apps not compiling.

kilgoretrout is correct. The package name for the KDE Devel libs is different, depending on the distro you use. So, what distro are you using?

i am using mandravia 10.2

Then, you're probably want to look for packages having to do with kde, and with a '-devel' at the end of the name. For example: kdebase-devel or kdelibs-devel.

Could you PLEASE stick with your original thread?
There's no need to spawn a fourth one.

I have mandriva too. Run:

$ rpm -qa | grep qt3

and compare with my output:

$ rpm -qa | grep qt3
libqt3-3.3.4-7.1.102mdk
qt3-common-3.3.4-7.1.102mdk
libqt3-devel-3.3.4-7.1.102mdk

My guess is you don't have the last package installed, libqt3-devel.
