[Eric] Problem with Qt path on Mac OS X

I have just successfully installed Eric 4 and can run Qt4 code  
successfully.

I'm now trying to get the Qt tools integrated. Since the Mac stores  
the tools in funny places like /Developer/Applications/Qt/ I have  
created symbolic links and a directory structure at /usr/lib/qt/ to  
match the normal expectations.

So I can open the designer via my bash shell like:

    open /usr/lib/qt/bin/designer

and it successfully opens so I know the symlink worked. But I can't  
seem to get Eric to notice it. I set the preferences for Qt for the  
Qt4 directory to be:

     /usr/lib/qt/

with no prefix or suffix and Eric still can't find it even after  
restarting Eric. My version of Eric does not have the search for  
Programs preferences item that is referenced here:

     http://ericide.python-hosting.com/wiki/Doc/Tutorials/PyQt1

so I don't really know what path Eric is ultimately looking for.  
Permissions are set to allow world execute so that's not the problem.  
I have also checked the "Disable Qt3" box on the preferences for Qt  
inside Eric.

Any ideas what might be wrong or how I might debug this problem?
