Not to monopolize this thread or anything, but I just thought I should also
tell you that the installer does *not* work on CentOS 6.3 either (my 64bit
laptop - just installed it a few months ago with the latest CentOS):

[josiah at centos62laptop Downloads]$
./qt-linux-opensource-5.0.1-x86-offline.run
./qt-linux-opensource-5.0.1-x86-offline.run: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6:
version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by
./qt-linux-opensource-5.0.1-x86-offline.run)

[josiah at centos62laptop Downloads]$ lsb_release -a

[josiah at centos62laptop Downloads]$ uname -a

As before, I welcome anyone to tell me I'm doing something wrong - I'll
gladly admit my error here, even though I don't know what my error is yet!
