I have tried every combination of configuration parameters from the 
simplest to the most complete without success.  Unfortunately it is very 
difficult to imagine what is intended with all the selections allowed by 
the configuration file. From my checking of the archive, this has been 
true for everyone else using debian. The directories called "qt5" appear 
in many strange locations. If you can explain what $QTDIR should refer 
to, would setting this environmental variable be sufficient to allow 
configuration Regards Frank Salter
