For the general questions, I have no idea. In the absence of any other ideas, if you have to reinstall I would spell everything out in full, e.g. -plugindir /opt/qt4/lib/qt4/plugins. But for "software being installed..." I surmise that the pkgconfig files did get insstalled (otherwise, how is it finding a reference to where they are), but are damaged. That -confirm-license in what ought to be a directory name implies that what got passed to configure was incorrect. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
