Sorry about that...
Thanks for letting me know about the problem.

Please let me know which OS and version you're using.
Try $ uname -a

In my environment it does work under Qt2, so I'm not exactly sure what
the problem is.   By any chance do you have both Qt2 and Qt3
installed.  Perhaps configure was picking the wrong version of moc.

I'll take a look at any old stuff and see if I can figure out what
needs to be updated.  If you've got any suggestions, I'd be delighted
to hear about them.

FWIW, the Qt stuff has been a bit of pain to configure.
Eventually it will be all removed, and all the GUI stuff will be
accessed through what every GUI tools are available in your scripting
language of choice.  (I know that that doesn't help your problem today...)
