I think I had a similar problem and this is due to some weirdness in the
gtkrc-2.0 nomenclature. My gtk-theme-switch2 adds a keyword named
"gtk-font" or so, which does not affect all GTK-apps, so some fonts are
still ugly.
Using the keyword "fontset" cures this. To show what works for me
(without having to run gnome-settings-daemon), this is my .gtkrc-2.0:

-----

include "/usr/share/themes/Gorilla/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

style "user-font"
{
  fontset="-*-verdana-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

gtk-font-name = "Verdana 14"

include "/home/mika/.gtkrc-2.0.mine"

Did you install it? What is the exact error message? Can you upload your
"config.log" somewhere (which has been created in the dir of the source
you want to compile)? It could help. Furthermore, do a

dpkg -l|grep g++
dpkg -l| grep gcc
dpkg -l|grep libqt-dev

If you don't find nothing, you need to install this (I didn't really
follow the thread and only recommend this after having read the last
post).

Actually, Debian is absolutely foolproof. But it's hard to make your way
around in the beginning :-)

As I said: The "fontset" parameter did the trick for me.

HTH,
