Hi Brian,

The QmlDesignerPlugin right now depends on some private headers of 
QtDeclarative. Unfortunately these aren't copied by "make install".

There are two ways to work around this: Either set up Qt to be used from 
the source directory, e.g. by passing "-prefix=$PWD" to configure (you 
don't do the extra "make install" then). Or run "./bin/syncqt -outdir 
/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.6.2/" after "make install", which will also 
copy the private headers into the installation directory.

We're right now looking into ways to fix this, or at least properly 
document it ;)

Regards

Kai
