You will have to first download the source from here for qt 4.8.1.
Then open a terminal(Ctrl+Alt+T) and goto the path where you have download the file.

Install the required dependencies

sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall

Then extract the file using 

tar -xvzf qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.1.tar.gz

Then goto the extracted folder using 

cd qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.1

and run

  1. ./configure
  2. make
  3. sudo checkinstall

This will make a .deb of the source you can install as a normal application via apt

sudo dpkg -i path/to/output.deb

Change path/to/output.deb to the path of the created .deb file.

    You should swap the make install for a check-install it will build a .deb of the source, so it can be installed by apt as a n application, I will add it for you, but check it out for future answers, it is very good help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall +1 though

  • Thanks, but While running the ./configure command it shows " You might need to modify the include and library search paths by editing QMAKE_INCDIR_X11 and QMAKE_LIBDIR_X11 in /home/rex/Downloads/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.1/mkspecs/linux-g++. " error ? Is it because of any missing dependencies ? @mohit_rajan
