Are you using SVN or the 3.5.12 tarballs? I have run into that problem before, basically ever since an unknown update to Auomake/Autoconf/etc. occurred. Robert is correct in that CMake will replace Automake soon, and will definitely be preferred in the future. For some reason, $(LIB_QT) is not being added to the LD_ADD string during processing of Makefile.am files. I don't know why this is; I do know that it is platform dependent and that building still works on Debian Lenny/Debian Squeeze, but is broken under Ubuntu Maverick. Tim
