Check for the QT_MOC_EXECUTABLE setting in ccmake (you may have to press T
(toggle) to see it).

Won't be able to check for a while, but that does sound like a good thing to check. However, while I can probably fix that in ccmake and then hopefully get a good set of config files to run make, I still wonder what would be pulling in the wrong version.

Playing a bunch more, I am now sure it is related to some problem while running cmake. Setting 'export QT_SELECT=4' before running cmake made things much better, but something is still pulling in a few qt5 pieces. Something Alan sent me made me look and think it might have been because alkimia was compiled with qt5, but I'm no longer sure about that. I have three entries in CMakeCache.txt pointing explicitly to qt5 instead of qt4, but I have not been able to figure out where they get pulled in. It may be a few days before I have more time to spend on this, unfortunately.
