When I try to do # make xconfig in Slack 9.1, kernel 2.6.3, KDE 3.2.0, I get
the following:

make[1]: `scripts/fixdep' is up to date.
HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/qconf
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-slackware-linux/3.2.3/../../../..
i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt-mt
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/qconf] Error 1
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2

Can somebody please explain?

Thats the problem, it can't find the QT libs.

Try 'make gconfig' IIRC xconfig uses the Qt libs in 2.6 and also adds
gconfig which uses the GTK libs.

Well it looks as if it can't find the qt libraries.

Do you have qt-3.2.1-i486-1 installed?

On my system :

locate libqt-mt
/usr/lib/qt-3.2.1/lib/libqt-mt.prl
/usr/lib/qt-3.2.1/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.2.1
/usr/lib/qt-3.2.1/lib/libqt-mt.so.3
/usr/lib/qt-3.2.1/lib/libqt-mt.so
/usr/lib/qt-3.2.1/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.2

I don't run kde, but I would have thought it needed those libraries. I
don't know why you have not got them already.

check in the /etc/profile.d directory for the script qt.sh

If you manually compiled and installed KDE 3.2, you need to adjust it MAYBE
to point to the version of QT you are using. I upgraded to qt 3.3 and
needed to change this script.

For me, I disabled qt.sh (chmod a-x qt.sh) and made a qt3.3.sh file. Here is
mine:

#!/bin/sh
# Environment variables for the Qt package:
if [ -d /usr/lib/qt-3.3.0 ]; then
QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-3.3.0
else
QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt
fi
if [ ! "$CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH" = "" ]; then
CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=$QTDIR/include:$CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
else
CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=$QTDIR/include
fi
MANPATH="$MANPATH:$QTDIR/doc/man"
PATH=$PATH:$QTDIR/bin
export QTDIR
export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
export MANPATH

In addition, you may need to check ld.so.conf and make sure it's not
pointing to an invalid area for QT.

Set the correct QTDIR.
Put the $QTDIR in /etc/ld.so.conf.
Run ldconfig.
