Hi Larry,
thanks for the detailed help.
Altough Eric worked so far with the install order on the webpage I wanted to build it the right way and started from zero again. This time I used, like recommended, the qt-mac-opensource-4.6.1.dmg, but this seems to cause trouble, at least when it comes to PyQt4, complaining about Qt4 not being 64bit:
In file included from /Library/Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Headers/qmetatype.h:45,
from /Library/Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Headers/QMetaType:1,
from sipAPIQtCore.h:40,
from sipQtCorecmodule.cpp:34:
/Library/Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Headers/qglobal.h:288:2: error: #error "You are building a 64-bit application, but using a 32-bit version of Qt. Check your build configuration."
make[1]: *** [sipQtCorecmodule.o] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
So could it be, that the cocoa-package is the only viable option under 10.6 since 64bit is default here, or is it recommended to force PyQt to build in 32bit?
