It seems that unpacking of the archives was not performed sucessfully. 

You can list the content of the binary packages with tar -tjf <package> 
for the qt package there should be printed something like 
	
opt/qt/3.3/... 
... 

Then you can unpack the qt package with tar -C / -xjvf  <package>
Then verify with with 

	find /opt/qt/3.3  

which should list many files Go on with the other packages.
