oh, I think I should have said this box is running Debian 3.0 stable/testing
bit rusty on rpm as mostly use apt.
what are the specific files I need to search for so as to rebuild the binary?
I can't find qt3.spec in the deb packages in this box, and http://packages.debian.org/ isn't working
regards

do you mean uninstall QT packages and then rebuild from source?
ie this means a heap of packages with QT in them, libqt3-headers,
libqt3-i18n, libqt3-mt, etc
which packages would you suggest I start with?
It is ok. to leave them installed, and build the .srpm or .src.rpm or how it is ever called by your distribution. The packages you mention are all created by the one srpm. So get the qt3-3.2.1-35.src.rpm (the numbers will be different with your distribution). Then do a rpm -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/qt3.spec and wait. The point is, that you get it from your distribution, so that the pathes will be set the same, as are in the binary-packeges. After compiling I still needed to install the created rpm by hand (alltough it should be already done by -bb): rpm -U /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/qt3-3.2.1-35.rpm But you should have deleted these qtrc-files before installing (rpm -U), and you should not be running kde while doing so. If missed this, leave the graphics mode (with my SuSE it is telinit 3 and remove the qtrc-files and then do the rpm -U again...
also, there is no /etc/X11/qtrc, but there is user-account/.qt/qtrc and a /etc/skel/.qt/qtrc
you will find the system-wide qtrc by doing a rpm -ql qt3 |grep qtrc
By the way... http://www.linux.org.uk/~telsa/Diary/diary.html will be readable afterwards...
