Hi,

I am running unstable and am not familiar with what is currently in testing.  
Do you have the testing version (from the debian sources) also installed?
If so, perhaps configure is finding an older version??  I have never installed 
qt from download.kde.org -- maybe it installs the libs and headers in the 
"opt" directory as is done in some other distributions??

Six months ago I switched from testing to unstable because gnome2 in testing 
was pretty broken at the time. I have found unstable to be be more stable 
than testing was -- if that makes sense :)  The versions of qt and kde in 
unstable had no problems compiling the 1.1 beta of Scribus (a desktop 
publishing program) two days ago.  If nothing else works maybe a switch to 
unstable is in order.  If you tell me the name of the program  I will confirm 
if unstable will compile it here.
