     146        Sometimes, the installation paths are hardcoded into installed files.
     147        This is the reason why <filename class="directory">/opt/qt4</filename>
     148        is used as installation prefix instead of <filename
     149        class="directory">/opt/qt-&qt4-version;</filename>. To create a
     150        versioned  <application>Qt4</application> directory, you may rename
     151        the directory and create a symlink:

     158        Later on, you may want to install other versions of
     159        <application>Qt4</application>. To do that, just remove the symlink
     160        and use <filename class="directory">/opt/qt4</filename> as the
