Hi Abdel

you don't need to replace your installed version of qt, if you want to 
try qt 4.6.

I blogged about this here 
http://tronprog.blogspot.com/2009/11/compiling-qt-46-from-sources.html

in particular, for the current version of qt-creator from the git 
repository, you need also the git repository version of qt (and the blog 
post should help about this). The post also tells how to use the version 
of qt you prefer (that's the way I compile qt-creator from git repository).

hope this helps
	Lorenzo
