Thanks, but I'm not sure where I'd find that.  Anyway, I did a web
search and found a post that said to install qt5-default.  That worked,
but qmake then failed, so I had to also grab qtdeclarative5-dev to fix
that.  I think it's working now...  I do get pretty fed up with the
lack of guidance from the source though.  (Or maybe I don't know where
to look.)
