For KDE >= 3.3.0, the C++ ctor is:
     KCatalogue (const QString& = QString ::null , const QString& =               
                        QString ::null );

For KDE < 3.3.0, the ctor is:
    KCatalogue (const QString& = QString ::null );

which appears to be the unresolved symbol.

PyKDE 3.11rc1 only has the second ctor - I honestly don't remember if that 
release would build against KDE 3.3.0. My guess is not. The easiest solution 
would be to download PyKDE 3.11.3 from riverbankcomputing.co.uk and rebuild 
PyKDE from that.

I'm not sure if anyone has done SuSE rpms for PyKDE 3.11.x yet.
