[Scribus] Compiling problems with Mandrake 10.0

[Andrea Astfalk]

Hello,

I tried compiling todays CVS (and 1.1.5, too), got the well-known error:

> checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0.2) (library qt-mt) 
> not found. Please check your installation!
> For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
> Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support!

config.log: Seems that i'm not able to see the wood for the trees. I 
could send it if asked. <http://dict.leo.org/?p=2Ib6..&search=trees>

My system is Mandrake 10 Community updated via Mandrake 10 RC1 -- from 9.2.

I knew QT-devel is definitively installed. Then I checked the instructions
http://ahnews.music.salford.ac.uk/scribus/documentation/compile.html#ss2.5http://ahnews.music.salford.ac.uk/scribus/documentation/compile.html#ss2.5
As preventive task I intalled all listed (even the optional stuff).

Maybe it's the issue with the missing symlink? 

> Some distros do not create a symbolic link to lib qt to libqt-mt.

But I do not clearly understand. Btw -- compiling for the very first 
time -- how to create this symlink? An example would be helpful.

It must be something really strange, maybe I've messed up my sytem :-( ? 
I switched to my test HD, installed Mandrake 10 freshly from CD, the 
needed development stuff and tried it again. Version 1.1.5 could be 
compiled, but compiling CVS stopped in "make -f makefile.dist":

In turn, this worked on my other installation (error checking for QT). 
But this is another story.

Well, you are right to say "let your fingers from this hot stuff, if you 
don't know what you are doing", but there are functions in CVS 
(especially bleeds), which are essential for me.
I hope, somebody is willing to help me. Thanks in advance.
