I have the following prolem:
After extracting qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5, when I configured it, I got the following message:

Basic XLib functionality test failed!
You might need to modify the include and library search paths by editing
QMAKE_INCDIR_X11 and QMAKE_LIBDIR_X11 in /home/*****/Downloads/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5/mkspecs/linux-g++.

Then I tried to install qt dependencies, I got:

~$ sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev libx11-dev libxcursor-dev libxext-dev libxfixes-dev libxft-dev libxi-dev libxrandr-dev libxrender-dev

How about installing the non dev packages first? What happens if you install the list of dependencies given in the list?

It may also help a lot to use synaptic.
If not installed: sudo apt-get install synaptic

Good luck!

What isn't working? Installing the non dev variants or synaptic? Also, what are you installing it on? Seems the example on the website with the packages you are trying to install are aimed for ubuntu 12.* (http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/install-x11.html)
