The problem is that the Gecode binary package includes the Qt libraries but not the header files.  The queens.cpp example implements a custom visualization and therefore needs the Qt headers, but if you install Qt from the original binary package, the libraries won't be compatible with the ones in the Gecode package...
Please try a different example (one that doesn't include QtGui, e.g. golomb-ruler.cpp).  If you indeed want to compile against the Qt library, you will have to compile Gecode from the sources.

Cheers,
