Qt caused all sorts of grief, but once they posted the mkheaders note, 
it seemed to compile fine. (It would compile, but without the thread 
support Scribus needed, no matter what I did.) Since then, Qt has 
compiled fine the two other times I built it from scratch. In my last OS 
install (since it was intended to be the last one for a while), I 
started installing all of the little utilities I've been wanting to play 
with. A couple of them (Sox? LAME? something to do with converting my 
CD's to MP3 for my new MP3 player, anyway) wouldn't compile with the 
Companion CD packages, and I had to go back to the sunfreeware.com 
packages. I guess I wasn't all that clear in my previous post.

This would be the qxml.cpp file, correct? Since Qt now compiles with 
thread support, I wonder if I need to do this. It wouldn't hurt to try, 
I guess...

I wonder if, as Sun moves further to Xorg, if the Xrender libraries and 
headers will start to show up (I'm assuming this is the RENDER you are 
referring to...). There is an xrender package on sunfreeware.com that 
you may want to take a look at.
