I ran this command:
UIC=/usr/lib/qt4/bin/uic ./configure --with-extra-prefix=/usr/lib/qt4
--with-qt4-dir=/usr/lib/qt4 --with-qt4-includes=/usr/lib/qt4/include
--with-qt4-libraries=/usr/lib/qt4/lib
And it errors out like this:
deps/Dialogs.Tpo -c Dialogs.cpp -o Dialogs.o
QAbout.h:24: error: ‘Ui’ has not been declared
QAbout.h:24: error: expected `{' before ‘QAboutUi’

I tried to install qt 2.4.3, but it would have involved messing with my entire
distribution, which is too much risk to take.
It shouldn't be this difficult to compile LyX. It wasn't this difficult a
couple years ago. Perhaps the features of the latest and greatest QT
shouldn't be used so early, so that those of us with a year old distro can
compile it without putting our entire distro's QT on the block. Also, if/when
this is solved, I'll write documentation to save the next poor soul from
spending all day compiling it.
