no, you should find the directory where they are placed. This command
should help

find /usr -name QtCore
or
find /opt -name QtCore

since those are usually the places where the headers are located. But
all of this is not necessary, since the bindings are already built.

so those are the bindings and you don't need to do the long manual
bindings (unless you want to understand how it works).

it means it does not find qtcore.so.
try the following

 cd lqt.build/lib/
 ls qtcore.so t1.lua # they should be in the same directory
 lua t1.lua

you can see in the error messages where Lua is searching. In this case
you could use /usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/qtcore.so. This is a system
directory. You may want to check that they work first. I suggest you
try to load them for the current directory, then install them
somewhere in your home.
