I may have found why QCompleter cannot be found. In the document below ..
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/qcompleter.html
..
it would appear that QCompleter was added into QT version 4.2 . The 
Mandriva qt4 update refers to qt4.1.3 . (I incorrectly quoted qt4.1.4 in 
my original post)
On the Trolltech website the opensource download offering is 4.1.3 .

My apologies for wasting anyone's time.
