for me in this case it was pretty easy, i only had to change the QTDIR 
line in .bash_profile to show at qt4 and to logou/in again:


joe .bash_profile:

...
export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt4/
....

but sometimes it is some more work. in my distribution, in /usr/bin 
there is symbol link caled 'uic' which is showing at /usr/bin/uic-qt4, 
or /usr/bin/uic-qt3.
the same for:

- designer
- lrelease
- lupdate
- moc
- qmake
- uic

both of this are in qt4 and qt3.

for compiling b.e. 'clam' i have to change this links to show to the 
right one version (qt3-qt4).

cheers,
doc
