You need to install sip 4.0.x - there should be a Mandrake rpm for it if you 
installed PyQt and PyKDE using Mdk rpms (and in the same place you got those 
from). What you should see in site-packages with sip 4.0 is sip.so and 
sipconfig.py - no libsip*.

Thanks for providing all of the info - makes it easy to diagnose.
