Qt compilation error for Arora

Any suggestions to sorting this error?

libts-1.0.so.0 is in my /usr/local/tslib/lib
libz.so.1 is in my /lib

I have tried the following at the command line:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/usr/local/tslib/lib"
and
export LDFLAGS="-L/lib"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/tslib/lib"

and in qmake.conf

QMAKE_LFLAGS += -Wl, -rpath-link=/lib:/usr/local/tslib/lib

with no change in behaviour.

Thank you.
