Qt caused all sorts of grief, but once they posted the mkheaders note, it seemed to compile fine. (It would compile, but without the thread support Scribus needed, no matter what I did.) Since then, Qt has compiled fine the two other times I built it from scratch. In my last OS install (since it was intended to be the last one for a while), I started installing all of the little utilities I’ve been wanting to play with. A couple of them (Sox? LAME? something to do with converting my CD’s to MP3 for my new MP3 player, anyway) wouldn’t compile with the Companion CD packages, and I had to go back to the sunfreeware.com packages. I guess I wasn’t all that clear in my previous post.—Rainer
