As to exclude the usual suspects: Did you make sure that the *.qrc is indeed compiled (with the Qt resource compiler), and that the resulting *.cpp file is indeed compiled and /linked/ to your application? Are you using a qmake/*.pro file approach? Maybe a ''qmake; make (dist)clean; make" helps...

Sometimes it is also helpful to look into the generated *.cpp file (which contains the embedded data): the comments there should give you a hint about what the Qt resource compiler thinks the resource path should look like.

Cheers, Oliver
