I have found that the following are required programs under Fedora. I 
have no idea if Gentoo includes all of them by default. This may or may 
not be related to the slots problem referred to earlier in this thread.

yum -y --nogpgcheck install \
         qt qt-x11 qt-devel qt-mysql \
         qt3-devel qt-x11 \
         perl-DBD-MySQL php-mysql  MySQL-python

Of course, your naming scheme will differ. My bet is on the lack of the 
qt[3]-devel files.
