[Qt-creator] where should I install Qt Creator / Qt SDK, on Linux?

1) Yea, I ran into that, so I did "sudo
./qt-sdk-linux-x86_64-opensource-2010.02.bin".  For whatever reason, this
caused it to run a command line installer (instead of a GUI installer).
Strange...

2) So it installed, but when I opened Qt Creator, Welcome -> Getting Started
-> Explore Qt Examples, it says "Examples not installed".  Strange...

3) Hm, I wonder what other non-package Linux installers do about this
issue.  The issue is (/opt/ is the FHS standard for install apps) yet (most
users don't have permissions to /opt/).  Not much of a standard if no one
uses it.
