This morining I needed to install Qt SDK on my Natty distribution. Some blog mentionned that it is better to install Qt Creator as it comes with all the tools and libraries required in a typical Qt Project.
I tried to install Qt Creator using Synaptic. Unfortunately, I have run to some package dependencies problems.

After a few trial and error attempts I decided to give up on Synaptic. Then, I found the QT SDK download page from Nokia. I downloaded the SDK installer and followed the instructions. A few minutes later, I had a running Qt Creator.
As many other Qt applications running on Gnome, the IDE is not that snappy. I installed the package on a separate partition (separate from Natty's partition that is). This way, I will be able to use it with KDE-based distros, if I have to install one.
