I chose ./configure -prefix-install option and then typed make now I am 
running into this error. Any idea on this ?

Hi,

Which version of Qt is this? On which exact Linux distribution?

It looks like your Linux distribution ships with an old version of CUPS 
(CUPS is a printing system used on Linux and UNIX systems) that is not 
supported by this version of Qt. Maybe this has been worked around in 
more recent versions of Qt.

Hi,

I am using Linux Kernel version 2.4.20-20.7 and am trying to compile QT 
4.2.3. Also I used the command "make". Before that I used "./configure 
-prefix-install"

Thanks,
Arvind

The Linux kernel is usually irrelevant for applications.

And this is under Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-113.

OK, this is really an old Linux distribution. You may:
* build Qt without CUPS support (-no-cups),
* try a recent Qt snapshot, see whether the problem has been fixed 
there, and possibly backport the fix to your Qt 4.2.3 sources.
* fix the problem by yourself by modifying file qcups_p.h in the Qt 
sources from:
	static int cupsVersion() { return [...]; }
to:
	static int cupsVersion() { return 0; }
and see how it works (no guarantees).

Thanks  Dimitri for your help. I configured it with out CUPS. Now make 
stopped with below error.

styles/qstylesheetstyle.cpp: In method `void
QStyleSheetStyle::setPalette (QWidget *)':
styles/qstylesheetstyle.cpp:1578: semicolon missing after declaration
of `QStyleSheetStyle::setPalette (QWidget *)::RuleRoleMap'
make[2]: *** [.obj/release-shared/qstylesheetstyle.o] Error 1

make[1]: *** [sub-gui-make_default] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/apurohit/Qt/4.2.3/src'
make: *** [sub-src-make_default-ordered] Error 2

Any idea ?

Hi,

Are you using the native Red Hat 7.3 compiler? Red Hat 7.3 ships with 
gcc 2.96.

Trolltech supports gcc versions >= 3.2:
http://www.trolltech.com/developer/notes/compilers/gcc

That said you may be able to build at least the Qt library with gcc 
2.96, but then you should be prepared to modify the Qt sources.

Another option is to use Qt 3.
