Unless you want to use it for development you shouldn't even be worrying about it. If you need it for some package then it will be installed as a dependency.
If you want to develop using Qt, then use the package manager of your distro to install QT. Virtually all the mainstream distros have packages for Qt so you shouldn't have a problem to install it. I am pretty sure that CentOS will have a package for Qt.
About embedded Linux I have no idea what do you mean. It can be a number of things. Maybe if you actually try to explain what are you trying to do we can give you better assistance instead of wasting time guessing.
ok, sorry. I should be more specific. Anyway, thanks for the reply.
I want to setup qt on embedded linux for the development purpose. I am using instruction manual over here: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/qt-embedded-install.html
I am facing problem at Step 5: Building the Virtual Framebuffer, seems that I should setup the CentOS OS by GNOME graphical mode?
I have read some article about embedded linux, they said embedded linux is a term of OS in mobile computing. we can either use CentOS, debian, Redhat or Ubuntu to do that.

This depends on what are you doing. With VNC you can run a remote session using VNC, or you can use framebuffer (no-X) to run qt-embedded based programs. This has nothing to do with Gnome whatsoever.
However I know nothing about this first hand, so I've requested this thread to be moved to Hardware/Embedded, where you will probably get better help from people who have experience with this kind of setups.
