Thank you Gerard. Unfortunately, that doesn't solve. First I said what 
the README.Linux says. Then:

 echo $QTDIR
/usr/lib/qt3/
[root at dhcppc0 PyQt-x11-gpl-3.13]# cp /usr/lib/qt3/include/qconfig.h qt
[root at dhcppc0 PyQt-x11-gpl-3.13]# chmod 644 qt/qconfig.h

What can I check to understand the problem?

Thanks again, :)
