QT compiled fine, I have a text file with the entire configure, make, and make install output logged. The examples were built with no problem.

I noticed that a lot of the libraries have no read permissions, so I manually changed them, and qmake works! But... wait... I did all this with root and umask of 0022... that should not affect read permissions.

Digging further, last night I did an entire build with umask 0000. Same problem, many libs missing read permissions.

Something is wrong with make install permission assignments in 4.1.4 that was not a problem in 4.1.3. What is the bug reporting process?
