I couldn't find it using the following: $ yum provides '*/bin/*-qt3' Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit No Matches found $ So I guess the qt3 stuff lives in a repo I no longer have access to, perhaps? At any rate, the GNU Autoconf Archive has a AX_HAVE_QT macro that wasn't aware of the -qt4 suffix, along with some other Fedora-specific deviations. I'm going to submit a couple patches to that project in order to make their macro work cleanly on Fedora, especially since things like -qt4 are common practice.
