Does Qt really tell the one line that installs the necessary dependencies on 
various Linux distros?  I could not find it.  The closest I could find is 
the blog
   http://blog.dixo.net/2009/03/14/using-qt-creator-with-ubuntu-810/

which advises

  sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev libfontconfig-dev libxrender-dev 
libsm-dev libglib2.0-dev


Unless this is common knowledge for anyone but the newbies, I think Qt 
should provide such info themselves.

Thanks,
David
