This is in the FAQ.  The SIP library was compiled with Qt support
disabled.  configure didn't find the Qt (specifically it didn't find
qobject.h), so you need to tell it explicitly where it is with
--with-qt-includes=???.  This usually happens with Red Hat because it
sticks Qt in a place configure doesn't look in.  It will be fixed in the
next version.
