This is normal. Qt's development tools store paths to various Qt tools
and data in their binaries. A Qt installation cannot be moved after
being compiled. (The SDK installer actually goes and modifies qmake et
al. during the installation process.) If the paths can't be held
consistent from system to system, you'll need to build it
independently on each machine that needs the dev tools.

You may be right. I haven't tried compiling Creator myself yet; I just
install it from packages and then point Creator at my customized Qt
builds using the preferences dialog.
