This is a complaint that your glibc is older than 2.7. Considering that 2.7 
was released on Oct 18, 2007 (the current version at the time was Qt 4.3.3), 
your claim that it isn't an old distro is wrong. A distro from 2007 will 
probably fail to compile Qt and run Qt applications anyway, due to missing XCB 
support.

That said, considering it requires glibc 2.11 and your error in the other 
email, the requirements *are* too high. I've already requested that the 
installers be built on Debian, not Ubuntu, so we can really track the oldest 
available distro.
