My post addressed only the "missing qt" issue. Andy actually went to the
trouble of building commi and checking what the actual dependencies
were. So it's best to follow his advice on this. The Qt libraries you
tried compiling yourself in /usr/local are not needed because you have
the official Fedora Qt libraries installed. So I would suggest just
deleting any of the Qt stuff still lying around in /usr/local.
