Download and install the appropriate rpms for these two packages:

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=3&search=qscintilla&srodzaj=3
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=3&search=PyQt-qscintilla&srodzaj=3

You'll also need sip and qt, but these are most likely already
installed.  If not, Googling for, say 'sip rpm' will be left as an
excercise ;)

python install.py (as root)

Total time: about 5 minutes

Regards,
Cliff
