Yes ;-)

There is a bug in the autoconf tools provided with this RPM. (At
least as far as Fedora is concerned.)  It doesn't know how to find
the QT libraries; Fedora allows multiple versions of this library,
and this RPM just can't find it.

Here's a work-around:

1. Get the URL to the source RPM, and:

	# rpm -Uvh /path/to/kbiff/.src.rpm

   This copies some files into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and one file
   into /usr/src/redhat/SPECS.

2. Replace the kbiff.spec from the distribution with the spec file
   I've provided below, and type:

   	# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
	# rpmbuild -ba kbiff.spec

   I just added the "--with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt-3.1" argument to the
   configure step.

3. Install your new RPM the usual way:

	# cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
	# rpm -Uvh kbiff*
