Problems with static build

[KaptainKarl]

OS: Suse Enterprise Desktop 10.2
QT: 4.1.3

I get missing shared object errors when running QT executables such as assistant.

Here is my configure command (which includes the -static switch):
./configure -prefix "/home/QT/4.3.1-OCI" -static -L/user/lib/mysql
-I/usr/include/mysql -qt-sql-mysql -I/usr/include/oracle/10.2.0.3/client
-L/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/lib -qt-sql-oci -qt-sql-sqlite -qt-sql-odbc
-qt-gif -qt-zlib

Here is the error:
assistant
assistant: error while loading shared libraries: libQtXml.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Did I miss a switch?

Looks like you're not using the asstant executable you build (maybe you installed another qt4 binary package). Make sure to execute the correct executable.

Didn't you compile statically using "make sub-src"? That means examples, demos and tools like assistant and designer aren't rebuild automatically.
You can build most of those manually, but since assistant relies on the QtAssistantClient lib I'm not sure you can build it statically. All programs which rely on plugins cannot be built statically.
