Where had you run the configure.exe from ? Which directory ?
GO to that directory, and you will see a bin folder. Go inside that bin, and you will find assistant.exe, qtdemo.exe . Run them and follow the above posts.

Open a console window in your desktop environment (GNOME or KDE; doesn't matter), go to the directory in which you found these files, type in assistant, hit enter and see what happens.
Maybe an error message is displayed. This message would be interesting.

You know,in my linux there is a Qt designer 3.3 installed by default.so when i enter assistant or designer ,it will open the Qt 3.3 version of those programs.
so i entered ./assistant but a error message came.i don't remember all of it but it had a

no such file or directory

or sth like this at the end of it.

I checked it again.
the exact message is:

./assistant: error while loading shared libraries: libQtHelp.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I suggest you delete everything and start from scratch. Instead of trying to build Qt, which is obviously currently too difficult for you I suggest you use your distro's package manager to install Qt packages. Then you will be able to run assistant or assistant-qt4 without any additional work.

And what should i do for that?

Hmm.... have you got any insight about managing your Linux installation? Just run your rpm/deb manager (yast, aptitude, rpmdrake, whatever), search for "qt4" and install appropriate packages.
