Hi Robert,

No, you don't need a  higher version.

We've got a task on the subject, but I don't know if it has been fixed 
(for a later version of Qt) or if it is still open.

The fact is that the "pg_config --libs" command we used simply doesn't 
output what we expected it to, even though it is clear in the 
documentation that it's the set of libraries that PostgreSQL was compiled 
with. We expected it to output the set of libraries required to link 
against PostgreSQL (like pkg-config does).

So, you have two options: either you modify the configure script, or you 
install those extra libraries that we're requesting.
