You probably need to tell Qt Creator about your new Qt installation 
(Tools->Options->Qt4->Versions).
It is a known issue in 1.3, that the installer writes the initial Qt Creator 
settings *for the root user* if you install as root. So, if you'd start Qt 
Creator as root user, it would already know about the new Qt version in /opt, 
but if you start as any other user, it doesn't and you have to tell it manually.
