Thanks Richard for your suggestions;

I did this now, but this changed nothing. Still QT 4.2 isn't found.

A somewhat old message here 
(http://rubyforge.org/forum/forum.php?thread_id=7451&forum_id=723) tells 
me that 4.2 was not working ... dunno whether this has changed? Do you 
run QT4.2 ?

I did look around of course, but all these messages mostly don't find a 
solution for *this* problem. For some people on the other hand it seems 
to work anyway ?!

Any directions to look for ? As I said, I have not 
C++/make/automake/qmake/whatsoever background - sorry!

Thanks for any further direction ...
Best regards!
