Grin. When they wite programs they do so without regard to geriatrics and 
their penchant to forget.

Simple, yes! that is if you are in root first, er, hang on where was I.

> Once you build QT and move it where you want (/usr/lib/qt3), then you set
> QTDIR to _that_ location.

Mind you, this explanation has let me see more light than all the verbiage I

use it in 10 yrs time when I am 80.
