Have Qt but no Qt headers?

Former Ubuntu user, experienced Linux programmer, now using Arch 64bit on a laptop.  Man is this slick!
I'm trying to compile the QUCS electronic circuit simulator from the source tarball (ignoring the Arch repository for now; i'm experimenting with its internals) but ./configure stops at saying it can't find the qt headers.   I already have other Qt-using software installed (qjackctl for one) and  so i assume qt's headers are installed along with everything else in Qt.   Giving up, i installed the QUCS package with pacman, and it runs fine.   I can only assume i really have Qt, the right version needed.  Yet the QUCS source still won't configure.    I could sit down and shut up and just use the pacman-installed QUCS, but i'm curious what's keeping configure from finding the headers, and i do like digging into trouble!   Maybe there is something that could be fixed?

QTHOME, or anything in the environment = a true vacuum, not even quantum foam... such variables are undefined.   Lemme guess... QTHOME or at least some QTxxxx variable should exist?
I believe QUCS wants QT3, The configure script makes references to /usr/include/qt3.   That last directory, as it happens, does not exist.  So the configure script is making an honest complaint.  The previously installed (properly running) program were qt4.   
I did, early today before my first post, did a "pacman -S qt3"   and right now i can do "pacman -Q qt3" to find i have qt3 3.3.8-7 installed.   Maybe this is an oddball package that, despite the wonderful one-pieceness of Arch packages, has a separate "dev" package?
