I am currently compiling the latest 1.5.0 after downloading 
Qt5.1.1 into my home directory and by trial and error adding the
following 5 lines at the head of my 1.5.0 compile script (ignore
wraparounds):
------------------------------

export Qt5Core_DIR=/home/safe/Qt/5.1.1/gcc_64/lib/cmake/Qt5Core

export Qt5Widgets_DIR=/home/safe/Qt/5.1.1/gcc_64/lib/cmake/Qt5Widgets

export Qt5Xml_DIR=/home/safe/Qt/5.1.1/gcc_64/lib/cmake/Qt5Xml

export
Qt5WebKitWidgets_DIR=/home/safe/Qt/5.1.1/gcc_64/lib/cmake/Qt5WebKitWidgets

export
Qt5LinguistTools_DIR=/home/safe/Qt/5.1.1/gcc_64/lib/cmake/Qt5LinguistTools
------------------------------------------------------------------
There must be a simpler way but I haven't figured it out yet.

For my 64 bit Slackware system I downloaded the following file:

 qt-linux-opensource-5.1.1-x86_64-offline.run

This can be found at:
http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.1/5.1.1/qt-linux-opensource-5.1.1-x86_64-offline.run.mirrorlist

Hopefully my compile will complete without error. Right now it is at
the 69% mark.

I will use latest 1.5.0 for production unless and until I encounter a
glitch, in which case I will back up to an earlier version of 1.5.0. I
store yesterday's version and a weekly version as well as the latest
overnight version. You will no doubt remember when we were using 1.3.5
through 1.3.9, though technically development versions, until 1.4.x
appeared as the official "stable" version. 

Thanks again for your continuing assistance.
