I don't recall seeing this before. Could you try the following:

1. In PyKE-3.8/build/discover.py: add:

	print target, searchPath

after line 202 in DiscoverQt3Incl.__init__

2. target should be qglobal.h - could you check whatever prints 
for searchPath, and see if qglobal.h is there (I suspect the 
searchPath, won't be correct in the first place).

Let me know what you find.

Thanks
