Yes, that's what I meant.  But thanks very much for this script.  It 
looks just right, especially the parts about setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  
So it looks like I can go ahead and compile qt3 with the same path and 
not worry about library conflicts with qt2.
I'm going to start with qt3 using this PATH and see what messages I get 
out of ./configure
