i just did this last night, i wanted to install XMPS (DivX, ASF media
player).
I didn't want to install the debianzed version because that may break
existing
applications, so i just compiled the source in /usr/local/qt per the
directions
in the qt source package, then when i run XMPS i do:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/qt/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/avifile/bin/aviplay
this way i can keep QT1/kde1.1 and use qt2 stuff at the same time. I
installed
the kde2/qt2 packages at work and am not satisfied with their stability
so
i did it this way for my home desktop.
although this may not be a good solution if you are planning on running
something like KDE.
