It does not get messed up. If you do not do an install (which qt really
does not support nor suggest).
If you put the qt directory in /usr/local (or wherever), set the environment
variables and do the config and build there, then all is ok. No matter who
you are. Of course, to put qt3 in /usr/local (or wherever) you may need to be
root. But no more after that. Just so you have write perms for the qt
directory and children.
