I usually run into ./configure problems with QSSTV relating to the
qt libraries I have available on my machine (Slackware).  ./configure
complains that the versions I have are too old. (They're not!)  If I
manage to get past the configure issues (by manually bypassing the
"problem" steps in the configure script), compilation then fails
during the linking stage.

I found a compilation issue with qsstv-5.1a using gcc 3.2.2 and notified
the author, not realizing a later version was available.  I haven't yet
successfully compiled 5.2d.  Now I need to recompile qt from source to
generate the needed threaded (or qt-mt) libraries that weren't generated
the first time I compiled it.  :-(

*Sigh*

It was easier for me to write my own "quick and dirty" SSTV generation
program than to get QSSTV to compile.  So far, I can only generate 120
line 8 second black and white video (plus 8 lines of grey scale), but
that's all I need it to do at this point.
