I would have expected "env | grep QTDIR" to report a full *absolute* path to 
the Qt directory;  something like "QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3", as I have, although 
yours may be in a different location.

What does config.log say, after you run ./configure?  I would not be at all 
surprised if it is failing because of an invalid redeclaration of the exit 
function in confdefs.h (which is built by configure).  I see numerous 
requests for help for precisely this reason -- the configure script shipped 
with Scribus 1.0 and 1.0.1 is *broken*, yet none of the developers *appear* 
to be focussing on the real cause of the problem.

Sorry, to keep pointing this out, but all the advice I have seen so far 
simply dodges the real issue.  I am frustrated that I can't compile Scribus 
myself, for precisely this reason -- it can't find a suitable version of Qt, 
even though Qt 3.0.5 is present, QTDIR is correctly set, and exported, and 
/etc/ld.so.conf is correctly set up, and ldconf has been run as root.  A look 
in config.log reveals the truth -- the test performed for Qt is itself 
invalid!
