*-devel RPMs invariably have dependencies on their base libraries, e.g. 
qt2-devel would require qt2 (otherwise there would be no library to link 
to) so you'd have to install that as well. Hopefully it wouldn't 
conflict with the current qt package.

P.S. OK, a -devel package could be self-contained if it had a static 
library and you linked to that library, but that's unusual.
