ror 2014-03-28 07:22 reporter ~0011481	I had the same issue on the same OS. The problem is that you are building Slicer with SUSE's system QT4 and you are not telling this to CMake. Can you print out the content of the file: SlicerLauncherSettings.ini? This file is located in the same directory the Slicer executable is. See issue http://www.na-mic.org/Bug/view.php?id=3574 for more details.
