Hi fourtysixandtwo,

I was downloading slackbuild, unpacking, downloading source as user and
running the slackbuild as root (su not sudo).

Changing everything to owner root including my working directory before
running qtmib.SlackBuild fixed it.

I am SlackBuilding on an external usb disk. May be my pwd is too long.

/media/Charybdis/Slackware-15.0/SlackBuilds/Network/qtmib

Cheers
Peter, DL2FBA
