Scribus: Could not find Qt4

[jovo@…]

Update scribus results in Qt4 not found error, although Qt4-mac is installed:

:info:configure   Could NOT find Qt4 (missing: QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE QT_MOC_EXECUTABLE
:info:configure   QT_RCC_EXECUTABLE QT_UIC_EXECUTABLE QT_INCLUDE_DIR QT_LIBRARY_DIR
:info:configure   QT_QTCORE_LIBRARY) (Required is at least version "4.6.0")

 qt4-mac @4.7.3_0+quartz (active)

Intel iMac with OS X 10.5.8 Nomaintainer so cc'ed the author of the latest revision.

Same on Intel Macbook Pro with OS X 10.6.8

Somehow the Qt4 port was not installed, though it showed in "port installed", and Qt3 still in place. Finally I got Scribus to install after removing Qt3 and reinstall of Qt4:

sudo port -f uninstall qt3@3.3.8_11
sudo port -f uninstall qt4-mac@4.7.3_0+quartz
sudo port install qt4-mac
sudo port installl scribus

Not a Scribus defect, so this ticket can be closed. Possibly an issue with "port upgrade" from Qt3 to Qt4 but IMO not worth a new ticket.

Note that scribus depends on path:bin/qmake:qt4-mac. If qt3 installs ${prefix}/bin/qmake, the dependency as written will be satisfied by that.
