That what I should think -- and in fact I do have two sips, two pythons
and to PyQt's, but the build process tells me it is only using the the
Python and sip in /usr/local, not the one in /usr. The weirdest thing
is that even if I install precompiled binaries, that shouldn't exhibit
these problems, on a machine that has been completely emptied of PyQt
and sip, I still get segfaults.

I'm going to try with an older version Ricardo pointe me to. If that
doesn't work on my machines, I'm afraid I'll have to re-install Linux
again...
