[Qt-interest] Qt 4.7.1 Linux libs

[Jeffery MacEachern]

I think I may have confused things a bit.  If the SDK ever included
libraries in a bundle-type installer, then I've never used it that
way.  Joshua, it might make it easier if you tell us which
distribution you are using, and how you installed the SDK.
