[RndTbl] application installation problem

I was wondering if anyone knew a way around this
installation problem that happened during  ./configure.
I was trying to install an application called Kguitar
in /usr/local/Kguitar-0.4
The installation can not find the necessary QT files
even though my system does have them. Kguitar
looks for these files in a series of directories, but
none of these directories is correct.
My QT is in:
 /usr/lib/qt-2.3.0/include
 All the QT files that Kguitar says are missing
 are in this directory.
How do I get Kguitar to find the necessary QT files
to install?
Should I move all the QT files into one  of the
directories Kguitar is searching?
Or is there a way to point Kguitar towards the
correct directory?
I send in bug-report a couple weeks ago, go a reply
saying this was 'strange' but otherwise no answer.
I can't blame them. It's free software and I'm sure
they all have jobs and families to tend too, especially
so near Christmas.
And Happy Christmass to you all!

   Here are some details:

> My system is.. Red Hat 7.1  kernel 2.4.2-2
>                          KDE 2.1.1  QT 2.3.0
> error during ./configure stated in config.log
>  if ! ( QT_VERSION >= 2.2.1 )
>     error 1
> #endif

 Here is the end of the Kguitar 0.4 config.log
