If you simply type "qmake", you're most likely running qmake from qt3, instead of qt4. Try to run it like this instead: # QTDIR=/path/to/qt4 qmake On my FC5 system, I compiled qt4 from sources (because it wasn't available in extras at the time) and installed it in /usr/local/qt4, so I run: # QTDIR=/usr/local/qt4 qmake After that, I can successfullt compile Quackle. > I enter > make > I get a lot of scrolling lines indicating a lot of errors.
