Hi Pieter,

It's kind of late but it seems a good time!?
A midnight spring bath in the garden keeps you awake. ;)

Ah, did it say to get the newest? We try to keep the web somewhat
uptodate but it's probably lagging too.

You need the latest Qt from the 3.x series. Muse 1.x does not support Qt4

Gosh!
Though you should know that normally you don't need to install
anything from source, just install the accompanying development
package from your repository.
E.g.
qt3-dev
