Problem Installing PyQt-012

[Kenneth Payne]

Boudewijn -

Thanks for your interest in my sip problem. 

I've installed autoconf and automake. This gets rid of all errors 
except the message about X (if that is an error) but I still get the  
same probelm on installing pyQT.

My configure output for sip now looks like this :

If all this seems correct, perhaps the error is in the configure for 
the PyQT sources. Should I concentrate on that?

By the way, I tried installing the rpm for sip, but it requires a 
later version of libstdc than mine. I get the error :
 
 failed dependencies:
 libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 is needed by sip-0.12-1

It's at least comforting to know that it is possible to run these 
python / KDE bindings on SUSE 6.3

Thanks again for your interest.

Best wishes
