If waitForStarted() failed, it means one of two system calls failed:

	chdir()
	execve()

Check whether you passed the correct path to QProcess. That's basically the 
only thing that can cause a process to fail to start. Check the errorString() 
value too.

If that isn't the case, run your application under strace -ff and check at the 
beginning of the second file what it tried to do and failed.
