Maybe we're mixing up Qt Creator and Qt SDK packages? The Qt Creator packages contain just Qt Creator, while the Qt SDK packages contain Qt Creator and Qt (including all Qt tools like Linguist and Designer). It's true that Designer and Assistant are also built into Qt Creator, but Linguist so far isn't. > Yes and I would use the debian packages usually but they are community > maintained and are usually quite out of date. We're providing some links here: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator/pages/VendorPackages But indeed distributions will sometimes be lagging behind. However I think in this case, that wiki page needs updating in regards to 1.2. >> For the freetype linker error, well, it is beyond Qt control. > > True but 'Exited with code 2.' is a but cryptic.

The missing development libraries problem is mentioned in the FAQ on the wiki, which is probably not visible enough: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator/pages/FrequentlyAskedQuestions See "What development packages from the distribution are needed on Ubuntu?".
