Bob,

thanks for trying.
You seem to have run into the same problem Owen has.

It appears that Debian based systems have the Qt libraries installed in
the standard location for most libraries which means the -L option
should not be required, but for some reason the linker cannot find them.

The actual error will be reported in $VICI/build/src/gth/config.log

Cheers
Brenton
