I had the same problem with Suse package.
I could compile Lazarus with default GTK widgets but not for using QT widgets.
Is it a bug or feature?
Most new people install Lazarus as a distro package and have the same problem. 
A complicated program takes effort to learn anyway. You try things from menu 
but it doesn't work... not good...
The "Build Lazarus" options that don't work for a typical distro install 
should be disabled when the needed write access is not there.

Anyway, now I have learned that svn install is very easy. Just one svn command 
and then "make all". See my mail earlier in this thread.
As a bonus you get all the latest improvements, but still it seems to be very 
stable.
