At this point, did you do a 'make' or a 'make install' ? It's unclear if you 
really did reinstall it. See where it did get installed with "find / -name 
qtvision"

Not finding the executable is not a problem of qtvisions packaging - it's 
entirely end-user dependant. You either installed it in a place outside your 
path, or haven't got it installed at all.

Don't forget to remove $HOME/.kde/share/qtvision to be sure you have a fresh 
config to start with.
