It would be better on the Weft QDA users' mailing list:

Christophe Lejeune has provided some helpful instructions on setting 
Weft QDA on Linux, discussing different options:

http://analyses.ishs.ulg.ac.be/logiciels/weft-qda.installation.debian.en.html

A big problem is that the version you are trying to install (1.0.1) has 
dependencies on old versions of GTK and wxWidgets on Linux, and most 
distros make these hard to support. You will be able to install sqlite, 
but from user reports it will be very difficult to get wxruby 0.6.0 (now 
four years old) working on modern Linux distros.

The development version of Weft QDA works with latest versions, but 
isn't ready for production use yet; 1.9.0 is only alpha quality, and 
whilst the latest unreleased code is much better, it has a whole new set 
of dependencies because it uses Ruby 1.9.

I don't like to say it, but using 1.0.1 on Windows (possibly via Wine) 
might be the best option if you have an analysis you want to proceed 
with now. Unlike Linux, Weft QDA should run on fairly ancient versions 
of Windows (eg NT/2000 - and probably 98).

Have a think about the options, then see how you want to proceed.
