[plug] problems when installing music programs

[Mike Hasleby]

Thanks for the suggestion Jason - I spent about 45 minutes last night 
searching the web but couldn't find a qt-*-dev as you mentioned.  Wonder 
if anyone else has had this problem with Mandrake 9 that managed to find 
the the file I need and could give me the location (or email it if its 
convenient).  There wasn't a pre-compiled version for mandrake (though 
there was for Debian - maybe I should grab those Debian CD's now!!
