You are my hero :-)
the second tip did it:
export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt

but why the heck isn't this the same as if i tell configure it this was
 ./configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3/
  --with-qt-includes=/usr/share/qt3/include
  --with-qt-libraries=/usr/share/qt3/lib/
because this didn't do the job.

thank you
