Oh... right... cryptic clue time ;)  Opening up Synaptic I find that 
this is true.  Bit like using the old version of YaST2.  So, fixing that 
I now find that I get the following error message...

checking for X... libraries /usr/lib, headers .
checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE... yes
checking for libXext... yes
checking for Xinerama... no
checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... yes
checking for extra includes... no
checking for extra libs... no
checking for libz... -lz
checking for libpng... -lpng -lz -lm
checking for libjpeg6b... no

checking whether uic supports -nounload ... yes
checking if Qt needs -ljpeg... no
checking for rpath... yes
checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!


I've checked to see whether Qt headers are installed.  I think they are. 
    So, where to go next ?  Does the ./configure argument need a prefix 
to point at the Qt headers for Debian ?
