Thanks,

the qmake is 1.04 so I tried to upgrade. I gave up because of too manu
dependencies with XFree (and since I have next to no clue as to what I'm
doing...)

Tried to compile from source (didn't work) - heres the last bits

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [../../../build/ipelets/libimage.so.1.0.0] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/home/ulriks/downloads/ipe-6.0pre22/src/ipelets/image'
make[1]: *** [sub-image] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/ulriks/downloads/ipe-6.0pre22/src/ipelets'
make: *** [sub-ipelets] Error 2

Still tons of -Werror, but thats just because of the warning level,
right?
