[Qt-creator] Installing on Ubunto 8

Hi I've just installed the latest qt SDK on a fresh Ubuntu system and  
it does not run out of the box. It only installs the Qt plus  
QtCreator. The Designer, Linguist and Assistant do not appear to be  
installed?

Anyway, if I try to build a simple project in Creator, I get this  
error upon compilation:

Running build steps for project QtTest...
Configuration unchanged, skipping QMake step.

I've previously gotten Creator to work on Ubunto by following the  
steps on this site - http://clivecooper.co.uk/tutorial/index.html -  
but that involved installing an earlier version of Qt.

and I have run sudo apt-get install build-essential to install the C++  
GGC toolchain.

Any suggestions? What do I need to do to get Creator running on Ubuntu?
