QT Install problems

[Tim Wunder]

Hi Brian,
I think the consesus is that a 'make install' is not required. That 
being said, you need to make sure /etc/ld.so.conf contains 
'/usr/lib/qt3/lib' (or whatever directories contain the qt3 libs), then 
run ldconfig to update the libraries once qt3 is installed. 
Alternatively, you can create the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
(read this, http://www.visi.com/~barr/ldpath.html) and set it to include 
the path to the qt3 libs.
HTH,
Tim
