To me it looks as if ./configure was set to install Qt to
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.1 and then
the installer has simply copied the files to /usr/bin etc., without
fixing *.pc along the way. But maybe I'm completely wrong. This was
just a hypothesis/speculation.

(For me it wasn't just a pkg-config bug as I don't have pkg-config for
Qt at all.)

But thank you very much for fixing the MOC and UIC paths.

Btw: Jérôme now fixed the source to the extent that I can work with Qt
terminal (it is usable for testing, but the remaining problems are not
acceptable for a release). Thanks to the fix I don't have to manually
patch Makefiles any more.

I like the terminal and have some more feature requests and bug
reports (or maybe patches for the trivial issues), but I will wait
until it starts working properly. I really like the fact that it has
"export to PDF", "Print" functionality and auto-resize the plot, none
of which is present in wxt.
