OK. It looks like the directory you specified using the -q option
isn't the one you need. You haven't said whether you installed Qt from
source, or whether it was installed with the rest of your Linux
distribution.

If you need to use the -q option (if the script doesn't work without
it), try using /usr/share/qt3 - this works for Debian-based
distributions, and may also work for other distributions.
