that link helped, the '--version' providing the clue.  /usr/bin/qmake is a

remedied.  and leading to another problem.  sorry.

:-)  maybe that's a subconscious .. yearning for the old days.  ;-)

if you do make it 14.2 though, which most use.  apparently, 15.0 is a
possibility for later this year.
