Well Qt is not the only piece of software, that needs to live in different versions on the same system. Having individual paths for all of them ... A related note: distros also install Qt addon libraries ( here Qwt ) under /usr/lib. Unfortunately qmake/qtAddLibrary prepends - instead of appending - this path ( the include path too ) what leads to conflicts, when trying to build a local version of the addon library.
