Following your suggestion I went to
http://packages.debian.org/testing/devel/qt4-dev-tools
for a list of packages which solved that problem.

but when I run "qmake examples.pro" I get
pete@newCompaq:/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.1.4/examples$ qmake examples.pro Failure to open file: /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.1.4/examples/Makefile
Unable to generate makefile for: examples.pro
pete@newCompaq:/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.1.4/examples$
I find "qmake" in "/usr/Trolltech/Qt-4.1.4/bin
My "bash_profile" is
# ~/.bash_profile: executed by bash(1) for login shells.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples.
# the files are located in the bash-doc package.

# the default umask is set in /etc/login.defs
#umask 022

# include .bashrc if it exists
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then
PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"
fi
PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.1.4/bin:$PATH
export PATH
fi
I don't understand why "qmake" isn't found.
Any help would be most appreciated
