Do you have /usr/lib/libjack.la?

You need to install a package called "jack" or "libjack" as well as its devel package. Try using YAST to see if its available in rpm form.

Ok I do have a dir called /usr/lib/jack. Do I have to point the ./config to this dir, and if so how do I go about doing that?

Edit: Ok I found a RPM Package called jack-audio-conection-kit-0.99.0
Installed it and now when I do find / -name libjack.la in tells me it's in /usr/local/lib. So how do I get the ./configure to look in this directory for libjack.la.

thanks for any help in this very annoying problem.

Did you try and install this package using YAST (from Suse packages) or did you just download a third party package from the web coz this can cause more problems than it will solve. If you can't find the right package via YAST, then install it from source, by doing the following

An alternative if you really want to use the package you downloaded from the web is to create a symlink as follows,

Well first I want to thank you guys for the help that you have given me, but I decided to use konstruct, I got all the were it is now telling me this. What do I do, and how do I do it. Well again thanks for the help so far. I hope you can help me with.

/configure: line 2262: /root/kde3.4/bin/kde-config: No such file or directory
configure: error: /root/kde3.4/bin/kde-config --prefix outputed the non existant prefix '' for kdelibs.
This means it has been moved since you installed it.
This won't work. Please recompile kdelibs for the new prefix.

I see in your profile you are using SuSE 9.2. Why not download the SuSE RPMs and the updated QT?

Seb

Well Now I am getting this, man I am about to give up on this, it's become much more of a pain in the A#@ than it's worth. Well if you guys can hlep me out here, and yes I have updated qt, I think, and I am still getting this.

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.3) (library qt-mt) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support!

Everytime something is stated as missing, install the development packages using the software module in YAST. You obviously dug in too deep without making sure that you know what you are doing first. Anyway sometimes its the best way to learn. The error message is straight forward, that package thats required is not installed on your system. In this case I think you need need to install the qt and its development packages. I believe you didn't install developemnt packages when you installed Suse, so thats the source of some of your problems.
