Since I don't run SuSE, I can't point you to *exactly* the package you
need to install, but on Fedora, here are the qt packages I have
installed:

qt-devel-3.3.3
qt-MySQL-3.3.3
qt-3.3.3
qt-designer-3.3.3

Try to track down/install these packages on SuSE then post again if
you get stuck. BTW, qt-designer might not be required, I can't
remember... :)

Thanks,
