configure error qt not found
 
Ok first off I'm a bit of a Linux noob, but not a noob to computers in general. I've read several answers to this problem but none of them seem to fit my situation.

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 'Karmic Koala' and when trying to install from source any program using C++, in this example kpictorial, I get this:

For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.

I have qt3, qt4, the -dev packages and the headers and libraries installed. I have just about everything you can have for qt installed trying to fix this. The qt files are under /usr/include and the source code files are under /usr/src.

Thanks in advance

What does the command echo $PATH return? If /usr/include or /usr/src aren't in your PATH, then configure won't find the libs. Either put the Qt libs into a directory listed in the PATH, or add /usr/src or /usr/include to your PATH. I would do choose the first option personally (put the libs in your current PATH).

Welcome to LQ.

Assume this kpictorial ... kpictorial-0.9.1.tar.gz
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kpictorial/files/

The files are dated 2002, and will fit KDE version 3.0
or similar, i.e. will not be usable today, I guess.
And will also look for old qt3, like version 3.0.4.

It's a good idea always to check the age of the files.
Old files often require special actions to compile.
