Looks, like you suffer from the same problem, Jonathan addressed with
his patch send to the list on 08/08.

I think, that expecting sip and PyQt in the same location is a 
reasonable assumption, but Jonathan's patch won't apply anymore, 
therefore I propose the following patch:

--- build.py.orig	2003-08-16 01:04:59.000000000 +0200

I cannot think of any adverse effects from this change, Jim. 

Gordon, Jonathan, you may want to test this, and tell us, if it
solves your problems?

Pete

P.S.: Jim, 3.7-4 builds smoothly with and without this patch! \o/
      Hopefully I get around trying to build on top of current
      sip/PyQt snapshots tomorrow.
