    I'm not sure if this helps at all, because I don't have Debian, but once I also had problems with installation. I noticed, that I didn't have big enough /tmp directory. My distro uses tmpfs, so it is possible to adjust the size on the fly:

    @
    su
    mount -o remount,size=1G /tmp@

    makes it grow to 1 gig. Previous size was something like 100MB, and it was already full before installation.

    Hope this helps.

      I've tried these two install files:

      qt-opensource-linux-x86-1.6.0-5-online.run
      qt-opensource-linux-x86-5.3.2.run

      When I try to install in /home/whg/Qt5.3.2
      I get this error in a dialog box issued by the installer:
      @
      Error during installation process (qt.53.gcc):
      Execution failed(Unexpected exit code: 3): "/home/whg/Qt5.3.2//Tools/QtCreator/bin/sdktool addQt --id qt.53.gcc
      --name Qt 5.3 GCC 32bit --type Qt4ProjectManager.QtVersion.Desktop --qmake /home/whg/Qt5.3.2/5.3/gcc/bin/qmake"
      @
      In the terminal window where I started the install there is this error message:
      @
      Warning: Error: Could not create directory /home/whe/wh.
      @
      Regarding tmp space, I have more than 100 GB available so don't
      think that is the problem.

      I'll appreciate any suggestions on what to try next.

        Hmmm, could you post Qt's installation log, it should be in
        /home/whg/Qt5.3.2/InstallationLog.txt ?

          No, unfortunately I couldn't find this file-- or any log-file-- in the
          /home/whg/Qt5.3.2 directory tree. I searched the whole file system and
          couldn't find a file with this name ;-(

              No, that "whe" in the path name is not a typo. I have no idea how
              the install program created this bogus path name ;-(

                    Hmm interesting with that failed install, could you check how much QtCreator stuff that was created in /home/whg/Qt5.3.2/Tools/QtCreator/share/qtcreator?
                    For example, is there a QtProjects directory, if yes, could you post the QtCreator.ini file. Also if there is (probably not) a subdirectory under it called qtcreator? If yes, post the qtversion.xml file.

                        Let make sure that the installers are correct.
                        Could you check if check sums are correct for the files that you have downloaded.

                          Good idea about verifying the checksums, also 2 more questions:

                          1. Please post the components.xml file, or if it's too big, just grep Title components.xml and post that.
                          2. The README.txt file should be 5597 bytes big and dated July 1 last year. did you edit it?

                            Hi all!

                            Any news about this subject?
                            I ran in the same using the 5.4.0 installer (UBUNTU, fresh install).
                            This time "exit code" is 1.

                            When seeking for an answer I noticed the message above:
                            "/home/whg/Qt5.3.2//Tools/ [...]"
                            There are two '/' between QT<version> and tool path.
                            Using 5.4.0 the same double "/" occurs.
                            Other bug reports (windows) even shows "/" (backslash-slash).
                            IF this is NOT just a typo in the debug message- maybe something to look after.

                                Hi again,

                                I solved it.

                                • Double slash seems to be just a typo...

                                • A newer gcc/g++ made it work!
                                  Before: 4.4; now 4.8 - updated via apt-get - error gone.
                                  Care has to be taken which newer packet to choose. Some remove half of your system during update process...
                                  see: "http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/41145":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/41145

                                Perhaps the information saves some headache.
