Please help! PyQt problems.

[Moray Taylor]

Hi,

I am having some serious grief with PyQT, my system is described
below...

Powerbook G4 550MHz, Yellow Dog Linux 2.2
PyQt 3.1
Qt 3.0.3
Sip 3.1
Python 2.2.1

All the software was compiled from source, no binaries, all compiled
without fatal errors, just a couple of warnings, nothing unusual.

The Qt examples work perfectly, however the PyQt ones do not, they all
fail with either 'Segmentation fault', or sometimes, 'Illegal
Instruction'. When I try using it with python interactivly, I get this
far

import qt
import sys
from qt import *

a = QApplication(sys.argv)
d = a.desktop()
e = d.width() 
#The last line causes a segmentation fault.

I have successfully used PyQt on both an x86 laptop, and SGI IRIX,
with no real problems.

I have tried compiling all components with various options, threading,
no threading, g++ exceptions etc..., but it always fails in the same
way.

Please, please help me, failure is not an option.

Please reply to mtaylor at lowebroadway.com as well as the newsgroup.


Thanks very much in advance
