Looks like you need to make sure the QMAKESPEC environment variable is
set properly.
Have you tried compiling as a non root user? It possible that the
required variables aren't being set for the root user but are for normal
users. You shouldn't really be compiling anythings as root anyway.

Also it bad form to send the same message to both lists. Some people get
really angry when you do that :-).
