My guess is that in your case you installed it as root user and selected the nonstandard
install locations of /usr/local/Qt/ rather than /opt/Qt/... which is the default location if installed in root mode. I installed my copy in non-root (user) mode so it put the files under $HOME/Qt/...

From the directions you mentioned regarding the GDB debugger location it did not match my system. There was no executable gdb file installed by the qt-project run file. The only executable gdb on my system is /usr/bin/gdb

The installer installed NOTHING in /usr/local/bin . I only mention this because GDB instructions on the wiki still confuse me. Thanks again for all of your patience and help. You were right I was looking for any excuse to NOT GIVE UP. I want to apologize to the forum members if I sounded too negative. After scratching my head for 40+ hours I was a bit frustrated and didn't know where else to turn for help/answers. Thanks for bearing with me through that!

Forget what I said, you are right of course. It installs in /opt, I got confused with my freeBSD test, that one goes to /usr/local
In any case, I was 100% sure it wasn't going to wreck your system.
Regarding gdb, there's normally one preinstalled (I might've confused the folders with BSD again) but doesn't support the python extensions that QtCreator needs, so debugging doesn't quite work until you install a better version. But as long as you don't try to step inside newRPL code you don't need it.

Now all that's left is for you to plug that calc and report any problems you find with the remote control, feature requests, etc.
