you need to install the G++ compile (gnu c++).

you can do this by selecting the build-essential package in the software centre, or by the following command in a terminal:

sudo aptitude install build-essential

Why you would want to compile QT from source is a bit odd, unless you need to modify QT itself. You probably just want to install the development headers for the pre-built QT development libraries "qt4-dev" (I think). You may also want to install and IDE (Integrated Development Environemnt), like KDevelop

sudo aptitude install qt4-dev

Can you help with this problem?
