Oh, ok. Everything in my system is installed from rpms from apt repos for
Fedora Core 3. For instance

$rpm -qa|grep rhpl

rhpl-0.148.1-2

 Which I got from one of the repos in my /etc/apt/sources.list file



 For some reason, FC-3 installed both python2.3 and python2.4. It could be
that the addon libraries are for python2.4, but are configged to use
python2.3 interpreter or something (you'll have to excuse my ignorance
about such matters, I've not learned python). 
I uninstalled python2.4 completely, and rpm uninstalled some python bindings
for other things as dependencies. Presumably, the rpm deps left 
(PyQT, pygtk, rhpl etc)
should contain those 'add-on' libraries you mentioned (I dunno though) and
they depend on the python2.3 rpm (still installed). However, the same
problems above remain. Unless the packages are broken, what else could be
wrong?
