use qmake-qt4 if you have both

Check your Makefile. What is 'prefix' set to? It's '/usr' on my Debian
system and things work perfectly.

This means that not only 'prefix' is missing - something is completely
hosed:

 BINDIR = $(prefix)/bin
 DATADIR = $(prefix)/share
 DESKTOPDIR = $(DATADIR)/applications
 
Those two install instructions above install into BINDIR and DESKTOPDIR

If those variables resolve to '//' then something is seriously wrong.
