type ./configure --help

It should give options to configure.  To the one for the qt libs give the path 
to the qt libs (on sid its /usr/share/qt3).  I'm sorry I can't remember the 
exact name of the option as I'm not on my home computer.

then configure with   ./configure --with-qt3-dir=/usr/share/qt3

(note the "--with-qt3-dir" is just a guess) 

I've found that I had to do this to compile any qt app on debian since we tend 
to put the qt libs in different places than other distributions

Hope this helps,
