autoconf error: can't find qt

[najmedin]

Hi there,
I'm doing a small project with qt 4.4 and put the following macro from
autoconf macro archive http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/bnv_have_qt.html
into configure.ac
now after the usual aclocal, autoconf, automake -a
i run ./configure and the following comes out

sameh@sameh-desktop:~/dev/datastrqt/dateqt$ ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c

configure: creating ./config.status

you see the problem now, the configure script found qt3 not qt4
and normally make won't work
so i exported the directory of qt4 on PATH

sameh@sameh-desktop:~/dev/datastrqt/dateqt$ export PATH=/usr/share/qt4/bin:$PATH

checking correct functioning of Qt installation... failure
configure: error: Failed to find matching components of a complete
         Qt installation. Try using more options,
         see ./configure --help.

I'm new to all this, but i think it's because the libs are for qt3?
help!

Re: autoconf error: can't find qt

do you actually have the qt4 development packages installed?

Re: autoconf error: can't find qt

if you mean
qt4-dev-tools
qt4-designer
qt4-demos
qt4-config
libqt4-dev
....
then yes

also i have the qt3 dev files

checking for Qt... yes:
  QT_CXXFLAGS=-I/usr/include/qt4 -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT
  QT_DIR=
  QT_LIBS=-L/usr/lib -lqt-mt -lSM -lICE -lX11 -lXext -lXmu -lXt -lXi
  QT_UIC=/usr/share/qt4/bin/uic
  QT_MOC=/usr/share/qt4/bin/moc
...

i think it is '-lqt-mt' library responsible for threads, it comes from qt3
while the script sees binaries from qt4

is there a qt4 version for the library?
