Thanks to Anand for pointing out that "The current version of KDE (3.5.x) is based on qt3, and so Fedora Core 5 ships with qt3 as standard. If you simply type "qmake", you're most likely running qmake from qt3, instead of qt4." and for spelling out exactly the command I needed to enter to run the Qt4 version of qmake on Fedora Core 5.
Thanks to Alec Berryman for raising the point that I might be using the Qt3 version of qmake and for packaging Quackle for Debian. Thanks to Waylena McCully for offering hope in reporting successful installation of Quackle on Debian testing. And thanks, of course, to the authors of Quackle. I now have Quackle 0.92 installed on Fedora Core 5 and Suse 10.1. No doubt I've ended up with the installations in unusual locations: /tmp/quackle-0.92 in Fedora and /home/graham/Documents/quackle-0.92 in Suse. However, they work. I struggled initially to make Quackle easy to launch but have got over that. When I created a desktop icon for launching Quackle which linked to path/to/quackle-0.92/quacker/quacker I eventually got as far as getting the icon to launch Quackle but when I tried to start a game the error message "Quackle cannot load its data files, including lexica. You'll need more mojo." appeared. I got over this by creating a batch file to change to the quacker directory and execute ./quacker. I turned an ordinary text file into an executable batch file by right-clicking on its icon, choosing Properties, clicking on the Permissions tab and clicking in a checkbox labelled "Is executable". I found, from entering, in a terminal, printenv PATH, that /home/graham/bin was in the path in my installations of both Fedora Core 5 and Suse 10.1, so I put the batch file there. I could then start Quackle from a terminal by entering the name of the batchfile, which could be something short. I could also link a desktop icon to the batch file so that Quackle could be started by clicking or double-clicking and now Quackle, run from a desktop icon, worked. I presume Quackle looks for its data files at locations relative to the current directory, so won't work properly if the current directory isn't quacker. Just guessing.
