some programs don't know where/how to access the QT libs.
*No* program knows how to use a given library without the headers. You might regard headers as a kind of map to what a library provides, or like a language guide that tells you how to talk to a library. The header files contain the prototypes for the functions, constants and data structures in QT. The library locations are normally set up when you link-edit the program, using the -L and -l(lower case L) flags. The -L is used when the library is in a non-standard location. /etc/ld.so.conf is a list of library locations. The "standard" locations are /lib and /usr/lib.
