This is because a lot of the modules just flat don't compile because
they have bugs.  Not much you can do unless you feel like fixing it
yourself.  Linus always accepts patches ;-D

Chances are libqt is installed.  The tricky point is the little hack
that makes it use libqt or libqt-mt (multithreaded).  libqt-mt is what
Mandrake uses.  I happened to catch that the first day it got released
by Roman and sent a fix in, but he didn't like it.  He did it a
different way and it turns out that his way is much cleaner, so I'm
content with having notified him that some systems use a slightly
different appearance for qt.

>I'll keep working on it, but I really appreciate your clarification.  I was 
>still doing some of those steps, and they are not necessary.

It's kind of a trust thing.  You know they say that it's not necessary
any more.  But your brain wants to do it the old way because the brain
knows that it used to work.
