OK, I'm getting a similar problem with checkinstall.
My $QTDIR="/usr/lib/qt3.0.3"

QT compiles, ie "make" completes without error (I had to add $QTDIR and 
$QTDIR/qmake to my $PATH, but it compiled). When I execute 
"checkinstall", it errors out as follows:
---------------------------------------
A bunch of errors like this (this happens to be the last of many):
cp: `/usr/lib/qt3.0.3/mkspecs/linux-kcc/qmake.conf' and 
`/usr/lib/qt3.0.3/mkspecs/linux-kcc/qmake.conf' are the same file

followed by:
make[2]: [install] Error 1 (ignored)
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/lib/qt3.0.3/qmake'
cd src/moc && make
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/lib/qt3.0.3/src/moc'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target 
`/usr/lib/qt3.0.3/mkspecs/linux-g++/qmake.conf', needed by `Makefile'. 
Stop.

make[1]: *** [src-moc] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/lib/qt3.0.3'

****  Installation failed. Aborting package creation.

Bye.
---------------------------------------

I'm gonna start over and see what happens...

BTW, If I'm compiling qt3 in the directory where it will ultimately be 
installed, is there a reason to even perfom a 'make install'?

PS FWIW, 'make install', as expected, creates the same error.
