Yes, there is no problem with having and using both Qt 4 and 5 on your
system. The problem is that Octave will prefer Qt 5, but there is no
qscintilla package built against Qt 5 for your OS, which explains why
you are getting the results you are.

I would recommend adding --with-qt=4 to your configure command.

I can't help with the arpack / atlas situation with EPEL, that seems
like a packaging bug, but if you can work around it and get it working,
go for it.
