Remove the existing features file before doing
python configure.py (it does not get overwritten)

Show at least line 66 of one of those *Style.h files.

Pretty sure that we are close to a solution.
My features file on Mandrake-10.0 reads:

-x Qt_STYLE_WINDOWSXP
-x Qt_STYLE_CDE
-x Qt_STYLE_INTERLACE
-x Qt_STYLE_MOTIF
-x Qt_STYLE_MOTIFPLUS
-x Qt_STYLE_PLATINUM
-x Qt_STYLE_SGI
-x Qt_STYLE_CDE
-x Qt_STYLE_INTERLACE
-x Qt_STYLE_MOTIF
-x Qt_STYLE_MOTIFPLUS
-x Qt_STYLE_PLATINUM
-x Qt_STYLE_SGI
-x Qt_STYLE_WINDOWSXP

You should probably have the same.

Undo your changes in /usr/lib/qt3/include/qconfig.h, remove
your PyQt-3.13, untar again, run python configure.py, check
the features file.
Anyhow, I have no sipqtQMotifStyle.h & friends in my qt directory.
Maybe you messed it up the first time (an empty features file would
explain your mess) and got stuck in the mess.
