Problems Installing Qt SDK on Mac OS X Lion

I've just upgraded to OS X Lion and am I trying to install Qt SDK. I've installed Qt 4.7.3 through homebrew, and am trying to get Qt SDK 1.1.1 running my machine.

I downloaded the installer from the nokia Qt site, and run it. However, during the installation, a strange series of errors appeared:

First Qt Install Error Message

I clicked "Retry" a few times to no avail, so hit "Ignore", as "Cancel" just quits the installer.

Second Qt Install Error Message

Again, clicked "Retry".

Third Qt Install Error Message

Finally, clicked "Retry" again, and the installation completed.

However, there's obviously something faulty, because when I try to run Qt Creator, I am greeted with the following window:

As one can see, the Qt Designer tab on the right, as well as the Projects tab are greyed out. I tried running the installer again, and the same exact errors pop up. I tried googling a solution (looking for errors involving harmattan-postinstall.sh) and nothing came up.

Has anyone else encountered these problems? Does anyone know of a solution?

  • Answer from the user, cwadding:

    An updated version of the QtSDK is available which might solve the problem. I was able to install the QtSDK fine on Lion and using homebrew. The fact that the Qt Designer tab is grayed out is unrelated to the error you are having, you just have to install it. To install it just select "SDK Maintenance Tool" in your QtSDK directory and then Select "Package Manager" and continue. You should be able select and install additional tools such as Qt Designer as well as other things like examples. Hope this helps.
