Two suggestions:

1) Download more recent source code, in which this issue is apparently fixed. Try here

http://sourceforge.net/p/chessx/code/15 ... ath=/trunk

2) Update your qt setup to version 4.8.

(Doing step 1 above may be enough.)

Still having a hard time installing chessx?

Well I have to recognise that having come experience installing linux software from the sources I couldn't make it but with the help of this link:
http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=124358

I guess a summary could be:

1- Download and decompress the code
2- "cd" to the new folder (in my case, ~/soft/chessx) (In linux systems, "~" means "your home folder")
3- Once there, it seems the process is just
3a: $ qmake
3b: $ make

And now, in the ~/soft/chessx/release folder you should have a "chessx" executable.

If you want to be able to call chessx from anywhere one option (but probably not the most elegant) is to create a symbolic link:
$ sudo ln -s ~/soft/chessx/release/chessx /usr/bin/chessx

Before compiling successfully I had to install some extra libraries:
$ sudo apt-get install qtsvg5-dbg libqt5svg5

But probably it's different in each case.

Best
