It works well locally on debian. When I unstalled libqwt5-qt4-dev and installed libqwt-dev I got this: ` -- Found Qwt: /usr/lib/libqwt.so CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:117 (message):

Qwt version 5 is required, found: 6.0.0-svn

` Then when I install qwt5 again and do a rebuild_cache etc. everything goes well.

I noticed that in the rare event that you don't have v5 as when I was testing this (unstalling v5 after having compiled with it) cmake still keeps cached somewhere that it wants to look for qwt_global.h under qwt-qt4 and so you get an error saying that file STRINGS file "/usr/include/qwt-qt4/qwt_global.h" cannot be read. That must be cached in a way that clean or rebuild_cache do not seem to clean.
