I don't code. But a wild guess:
Are you using rpms or debs? (As opposed to tarballs?) Rpms (and I
*think* debs) split the contents of the package into foo.rpm and
foo-devel.rpm.
You need foo to run programs it contains.
You need foo-devel to compile new stuff which requires foo. They
contain headers. I don't know what these are, but I know you need
them for compiling.
I think "rpm -qa | grep -i qt" will tell you if you're on an rpm-using
box. I forget the dpkg equivalent.
