The problem with qmake was that /sw/bin/qmake was pointing to the kde3
version of qmake. I fixed that:
sudo ln -s /sw/lib/qt4-x11/bin /sw/bin/qmake
and was able to move on.
Next: it gets to the point where it can report:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- The following OPTIONAL packages could NOT be located on your system.
-- Consider installing them to enable more features from this software.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* liblastfm (0.3 or higher) <
http://cdn.last.fm/src/liblastfm-0.3.0.tar.bz2>
Enable Last.Fm service, including scrobbling, song submissions, and
suggested song dynamic playlists
* libofa (0.9.x or higher) <http://code.google.com/p/musicip-libofa/>
Enable MusicDNS service

-- The following REQUIRED packages could NOT be located on your system.

* qtscript-qt <http://code.google.com/p/qtscriptgenerator/>
QtScript Qt Bindings
* qca2 <http://delta.affinix.com/qca/>
Qt Cryptographic Architecture
but liblastfm, and qca2 fink packages are installed.
for qtscript I find the following result from "fink list qscript". Are
these what it's looking for?
i qtscriptgenerator-x11 0.1.0-3 QtScript binding generator
i qtscriptgenerator-x11-r 0.1.0-3 Runtime QtScript plugins
"fink list ofa" comes up blank.
So now I'm working on installing libofa, and getting the build to find
lastfm, qtscript, and qca2

What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly
upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support? Time to move
off Lotus Notes and onto the cloud with Force.com, apps are easier to build,
use, and manage than apps on traditional platforms. Sign up for the Lotus
