    Ah, right. I do have libicu-dev installed, but hadn't thought to point QT to my system /usr/include directory. I'll add it to the end of the list. Thanks.

      On another note, if these files are required in the system, shouldn't QT look there by default?

        ICU is not required, unless you want to build QtWebKit

          Ok, but in the make files for QtWebKit, it should point to the systems /usr/include directory, no?

            I haven't checked recently but I'm not sure that ICU is installed by default on linux

              That's not really the issue here. Even if I do have them installed, the make file will never find them, unless I go and edit it. It's not a good idea to make people edit make files in order to install the framework. If it is installed, it will probably be in /usr/include. The make files should point there by default.

                Are you sure you have ICU's headers installed ? Installing the library doesn't mean that the headers are also there. Generally they are part of the corresponding dev-package

                  I'm sure. As I mentioned earlier, libicu-dev is installed.

                    I think you're still missing the point. How in the world does the make file know if I have ICU installed or not? It doesn't even try to look into /usr/include.

                      The makefile doesn't. It's the configure scripts that searches for installed elements to do the automatic enabling/disabling of features.

                        Well, really the configure script uses my qconf file to tell the make files where to look. But yes, it happens when you execute the configuration. I will add /usr/include.
