Compiile against qwt-qt5 6.1.5

This is probably your problem. SciDAVis is currently only builds against Qwt5, not Qwt6. You need the qwt5-qt5-dev(or possibly libqwt5-qt5-devel depending on distro) package.

I had a brief foray into prting SciDAVis to Qwt6, but it is a big job, not helped by the fact that Qwt6 has a much worse API than Qwt5. There needs to be all sorts of shimming involved to create a sane API.
