Thanks!  I tried again using your recommended additional switches but the 
build STILL fails with:

checking for moc... /usr/lib/qt3//bin/moc
checking for uic... /usr/lib/qt3//bin/uic
checking for Qt library name... failed
configure: error: Cannot compile a simple Qt executable. Check you have the 
right $QTDIR !
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.58102 (%build)

The script is still looking for something in the wrong place  (I have ALL the 
required qt3 libs/includes needed to build any qt-based app, nothing is 
missing).  I have looked through the config.log and config.status files.  
Nothing in either to indicate any problems/missing elements.
