Cross-compiling QT apps for a raspberry pi - Cannot open shared object file

I want to be able to use the QT Creator on my full-sized desktop to be able to develop and compile qt apps and deploy them to the pi.

I followed this guide: http://qt-project.org/wiki/Create#QtonPi_App_SDK

I am trying to get the hello-qtonpi project to compile. Using the compiler and the toolchain for the pi, I get two errors during compiling:

/opt/qtonpi/lib/gcc/armv5tel-qtonpi-linux-gnueabi/4.5.4/../../../../armv5tel-qtonpi-linux-gnueabi/bin/as: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/opt/qtonpi/libexec/gcc/armv5tel-qtonpi-linux-gnueabi/4.5.4/cc1plus: error while loading shared libraries: libmpc.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I checked that these two libraries were installed on my pi, and the rsynced /lib and /usr/lib from the pi to my sys-root folder.

I tried using the QT Creators Add Library -> System Library tool, and selected e.g. libz.so, as it didn't show the so.1 one. It added the following line to the .pro file:

unix:!macx:!symbian: LIBS += -lz

However it still didn't get rid of the error.

How should I include these libraries or tell the compiler where to look from?

Both error messages about libz and libmpc are not related to target libraries missing but to the host part.

Your cross-compilation toolchain have been built as a dynamic one, so you need to have on your host all libraries resolving dependencies.

Since libz.so.1 is quite common,maybe you are running a 64 bit host but your toolchain have been built for 32 bits. In this case, you need to find package providing 32 bits version of libz.so.1 and libmpc.so.2.
