Ken, you might want to report your problem on the PyQt/PyKDE
mailing list (http://mats.imk.fraunhofer.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde).
If you don't get around to doing that within a few days, and if
nobody's replied here, I'll forward your message on.

The output you provided indicated that libsip may not be installed
in an expected place. Have you tried specifying the -s flag when
configuring PyQt?
