I have account on CentOS system as regular user.
Is it possible to install Qt without root privileges only for my needs?
I guess that it has to be done by compiling from source code, but I don’t know how to do it.
Could anyone help me?

I have done this several times as a user and not root. I created a folder called Qt, moved the binary version to that folder, clicked on it to begin the install. Once the package is unpacked, click on the install script. It works great.

Just pass a path where you have write privileagues to the prefix argument of configure. Then you will be able to do make install without root. Also people report that you can run qt from the build directory if you pass the build directory as prefix, e.g. --prefix `pwd`
