[PyKDE] SIP error while building PyKDE

[Jennifer King]

Hello all,

I'm new to this list as well as PyKDE/PyQT/SIP, so please forgive any 
stupidity here.
On to the point...

I'm trying to get PyKDE installed on a FreeBSD4.8 system. After fighting 
with things for a couple days, I finally have PyQT & SIP installed, and 
I've fought my way through PyKDE's installation, but finally ran into a 
problem I can't figure out exactly how to fix. Hopefully, someone here 
will know what to do.

An internal error occured.  Review the installation documentation or
report all the output from the program, including the traceback,
to the PyKDE mailing list: <pykde at mats.imk.fraunhofer.de>. Thanks.


Traceback (most recent call last):

Note: Lines enclosed in ()'s are there for debugging.

Anyways, my kdecore directory is empty, and I've tried running the sip call from the command line, with and without the kdecore directory things, and got the same error:

dragon# sip -t WS_X11 -t Qt_3_2_0 -t KDE_3_1_4 -z features -I sip -I /usr/local/share/sip/PyQt-x11-gpl-3.11/sip kdecore-kde314.sip
sip: sip/kcharsets.sip:39: syntax error

Line 39 of kcharsets.sip:
QTextCodec*          codecForName (const QString&, bool&) const/PyName=codecForName2/;


Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!
