It appears that metaobject_C9QSGIStyle isn't in the qt libs you
built (that's the mangled name for QSGIStyle::metaObject - not
sure what argument type the 'C9' is though). You can verify if it's
really there or not by running the 'nm' command on the qt lib(s)
and searching the output for that item ('nm libXXXX | less', for
example, as there will be a lot of output, and then use
'/metaobject_C9QSGIStyle' to search). I haven't built qt3 yet, but
it seems to me that when you do ./configure for qt, you get a bunch
of options about what to include in the build, and perhaps there's
an option that omits/includes QSGIStyle.
