Thanks for the help Hugo. I Ran ./configure as:
./configure QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3

This got me a bit further, but now ./configure is complaining again. This time 
with the following output.

checking whether we want to build PDFedit gui... yes
configure: QMAKESPEC environment variable is not set
                                                  - default will be used.
checking for QT qmake... configure: error: unable to find qmake for QT3

I may have to give up on this. I got pdfedit working on an archlinux install, 
but when editing a .pdf, it was hitting the redline (99% cpu) , which is why 
I wanted to try pdfedit on some other distros. I've also got Lenny available 
on the same drive. I'll have a look to see if pdfedit is available there.

Thanks again for your help.

Nigel.
