Hard to say. I would imagine it is the whole qt environment. There was
an upgrade for redhat 7.3 and maybe it (qt) was not updated to the
redhat 9 version (they have the same name, the qt build was done before
I started tagging packages with the release number). 

These are the qt rpms:

# rpm -q -a | grep ^qt-
qt-designer-3.1.1-6
qt-MySQL-3.1.1-6
qt-PostgreSQL-3.1.1-6
qt-3.1.1-6
qt-devel-3.1.1-6
qt-Xt-3.1.1-6
qt-ODBC-3.1.1-6

So, you could reinstall them from the redhat install cdroms using the
"--force" rpm option so that they install on top of what you currently
have (which probably is the 7.3 version of qt). I don't remember on
which cdrom they are located.
