Problem compiling the C/C++ reference for Kdevelop

I recently started playing around with Kdevelop 2.x on my server, and
found it much improved over the older releases. Getting into it, I decided
to download and compile the C/C++ reference documentation, and ran into a
snag. I'm not sure if it is because the configure script is having
problems running on a FreeBSD box or what, but here is what I get:

configure: WARNING:
There is an installation error in jpeg support. You seem to have only one
of either the headers _or_ the libraries installed. You may need to either
provide correct --with-extra-... options, or the development package of
libjpeg6b. You can get a source package of libjpeg from
http://www.ijg.org/
Disabling JPEG support.

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 2.2.2) (libraries) not
found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.

Now, I know that the jpeg libraries are present (I believe they are now
part of the base system) because I have compiled other software that
requires the libraries, and they found them just fine. Odd message,
though. It seems like it found parts of the libraries, but not others.

As for the Qt libraries, well they should have been installed with KDE.
Sure enough, here is the pkg info in /var/db/pkg:

alexandria# ls -l | grep qt
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 May 31 21:49 qt-3.1.1_4

Has anyone managed to get this documentation installed? It's not critical,
as I have other C/C++ reference books (physical books) laying around, but
it would be nice to have an online version.

Thanks,
Seth Henry
