 Actually --enable-qt4 is not recognized by configure script
 at all. I tried 
 with plain "./configure", without parameters.

  If you are compiling for Qt3, then something
might be  amiss in your build
  setup.  Please make sure you have all Qt 
development headers installed,
  and if you don't mind posting the full output
of the  commands you listed
  above I may be able to shed more light on the
 problem.

 I using gentoo and I have already KDE-3 installed, so my
 QT-3 setup is fine, I 
 think.

 I attached folowing files:

 log1.txt is output of "make -f admin/Makefile.common"
 log2.txt is output of "./configure"
 log3.txt is output of "make"

 Also, I attached config.log

 I'm not sure what meaning the message "You are attempting
 to compile Trinity 
 without the Trinity Qt Interface installed.  Please
 install 
 libtqtinterface-dev and try again!" 
I discovered the hard way that trying to build the Trinity packages with KDE 3.5.10
installed will cause many headaches.

I created a virtual machine without KDE installed and I built tqtinterface there. You
still need qt3 installed.

Also, you need to rebuild the make files with each package. Much is changed with Trinity
include files and these make files need to be rebuilt.

On my system I run the following commands in my build scripts:

cp -Rp /usr/lib/build/libtool.m4 admin/libtool.m4.in
cp -Rp /usr/lib/build/ltmain.sh admin/ltmain.sh
make -f admin/Makefile.common

Locations might be different for Gentoo.

I'm attaching the build script I used to create a tqtinterface package for Slackware.
Hopefully that provides some ideas of what you need in Gentoo.

I hope that helps.
