qt-devel is installed:

[john at starfleet john]$ rpm -qa |grep qt-
qt-designer-3.1.2-14
qt-3.1.2-14
qt-devel-3.1.2-14

It's there:

[john at starfleet john]$ grep qt /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/lib/qt-3.1/lib
[john at starfleet john]$ ls -l /usr/lib/qt-3.1
total 32

Ok. It all seems to be there, but it still doesn't work.  What now?
