Detlev,

    An update: I recompiled PyQt after telling the configurator (with the -n
and -o switches) to find qscintilla in /opt/qscintilla-1.62-gpl-1.5.2/qt/.
The configure step showed that qtext was scheduled to be built; no error
messages about not finding qextscintellaglobal.h.

    This time it worked. And, I understand why it did not work on the previous
build. The error message was that the one header file could not be located. I
made a sym link from the expected directory to the actual location. What the
error message didn't tell me is that the rest of those header and object
files were also required. Sigh.

    Eric3 built this time.

Many thanks,

Rich
