No. Compared to compiling & installing a newer Qt on to a separate directory and then building and running Qt Creator using that version of Qt. That was what Konstantin was recommending (and perhaps a more technically correct way).
Today, I built and installed gcc 4.6.2 (C & C++ only and without the stuff for 'Graphite loop optimizations') on to separate directory. Took about an hour on my couple of years old PC. Then I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH from the shell script used to invoke Qt Creator.

My intention was to see if I can use the latest version of Qt Creator on an RHEL5 machine without altering the installed Qt 4.5. As Pritam and others pointed out, this wouldn't be much of a problem since Qt Creator comes with its own Qt library files. The only real problems were an obsolete fontconfig package (which I don't have any problem updating) and requirement of newer C++ library - which I met using the above method.
