I’ve built the Qt 4.6.3 packages for Centos 5.5.
To install, as root, type:
rpm -ivh http://software.freivald.com/centos/software.freivald.com-1.0.0-1.noarch.rpm yum update fontconfig fontconfig-devel qt4 qt4-devel qt4-doc qt4-postgresql qt4-odbc qt4-sqlite qt-creator
Also, I’ve updated the qt-creator package to 1.3.1-1. The issue with the package was that on the 64-bit environment, qt-creator continues to look into /usr/lib/qtcreator for it’s plugins instead of /usr/lib64/qtcreator. I added a link from /usr/lib/qtcreator to /usr/lib64/qtcreator in the x86_64 arch build. This means that you should not install the 32-bit version and the 64 bit version on the same machine – but I’m not sure that was ever a good idea in the first place. 
Please post here if you have any issues with the Qt 4.6.3 build or the qtcreator 1.3.1-1.
I’ve also posted the public key that I use to sign the packages here. To use it, as root, type:
rpm --import http://software.freivald.com/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-software.freivald.com
NOTE: If you use yum-priorities you will need to set this repository to the same level as ‘core’ for these to install properly. You’ll know if you have a priorities issue because ‘yum install qt-creator’ will scream at you that you are missing libaries. These libraries come in the version that I compile but not in the Centos core distribution and if the priorities are wrong it will pull those packages from core.
Cheers.
Hi there, I am getting the following dependency errors, relating to fontconfig when trying to install the packages you mention. Did you get anything like this?

You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup –problems
package-cleanup –dupes
rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

This problem has not been reported before. It looks like you have the .i386 devel package for fontconfig, and in my repository it is an x86_64 package. Try removing your fontconfig-devel and then upgrading, and then installing fontconfig-devel. If you have a lot of deps for fontconfig-devel then you can try rpm -e –dbonly –nodeps, followed by the upgrade and then the re-install of the -devel package.
I’ll check the -devel package structure and see if I need to add the i386 devel packages to the x86_64 repository. It just be matter of housekeeping since -devel packages are mostly just headers. I have it as an x86_64 because on my 64-bit machines I have removed all 32-bit packages and have “exclude=*.i386 *.i486 *.i586 *.i686″ in my /etc/yum.conf.
