I suggest you learn a bit more about Linux before continuing. It will do 
you a lot of good.

In particular, here are some suggestions:
1) don't use root for a task that isn't system administration. Tinkering 
with Qt for Embedded Linux isn't.

2) the home directory for the root user is /root, not the root directory. 
For a normal user, it's usually /home/<username>

Don't use Qt 4.5.0's technical preview. That was released 6 months ago. 
You really want to use 4.5.0 final version, released 3 weeks ago.

From the output here, I can tell you your PATH=.... command did not work: 
the qmake command that was run was the Qt 4.4.3 (X11) that comes with your 
distribution, not the Qt for Embedded Linux you installed.

Please make sure you installed Qt for Embedded Linux correctly (by running 
"make install"), that qmake is in 
/usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.5.0/bin (I'm assuming you will upgrade 
from the TP1) and that you ran the PATH=.... command correctly.
