Following the book's instructions for QT-4.8.7 will leave no Qt

vlc) -- if they install under /usr (like i am doing). I think changing
the /etc/profile.d/qt4.sh file (under the "Configuring Qt" section on
that page) as follows fixes it:
# Begin /etc/profile.d/qt4.sh
QT4DIR=/usr
QTDIR=$QT4DIR
pathappend $QT4DIR/bin/qt4 PATH
export QT4DIR QTDIR
# End /etc/profile.d/qt4.sh
We can do that. Note that qt5 and the helper scripts setqt{4,5} need to
be changed also.
What a mess - I'm only installing Qt4 in this build so no reason not to
put it in /usr. I suppose the only way to apply for all use cases would
be to ensure the directories under /opt and /usr are the same layout.
Otherwise, maybe add some verbiage to the scripts to the effect: "If you
installed one or both Qt versions under /usr the scripts below will need
to be altered accordingly."
Already done. Note that if you are sure you are not going to install qt5,
then you can specify '-prefix=/usr' and avoid a lot of complications.
I'll be glad when we can drop qt4 completely, but that will not happen soon.
