Hi,

Yes, it is known and we intend to fix it :) The solution we're aiming 
for is to install the private headers with Qt, like we do for normal 
headers. I hope we'll get this with Qt 4.8.

Meanwhile you have to compile creator against a self-compiled Qt (which 
must also be the the exact same Qt version it will run with), and 
specify the location of the private headers in the Qt source tree e.g. 
via `qmake -r "QT_PRIVATE_HEADERS=$QTDIR/include"`

Kai
