I installed qscintilla:

     [root at localhost software]# yum install qscintilla
     ...
     Installed: qscintilla.i386 0:1.6-3.fc4
     Complete!

Then I tried installing the RPMs you linked to:

     [root at localhost software]# rpm -Uvh 
PyQt-qscintilla-3.14.1-0.1.i386.rpm eric-3.7.1-0.1.i386.rpm
     error: Failed dependencies:
             PyQt = 3.14.1 is needed by PyQt-qscintilla-3.14.1-0.1.i386
             PyQt is needed by eric-3.7.1-0.1.i386

Added PyQt:

     [root at localhost software]# rpm -Uvh 
PyQt-qscintilla-3.14.1-0.1.i386.rpm eric-3.7.1-0.1.i386.rpm 
PyQt-3.14.1-1.i386.rpm
     error: Failed dependencies:
             sip is needed by PyQt-3.14.1-1.i386

Added sip, and ran into the glibc problem again:

     [root at localhost software]# rpm -Uvh 
PyQt-qscintilla-3.14.1-0.1.i386.rpm eric-3.7.1-0.1.i386.rpm 
PyQt-3.14.1-1.i386.rpm sip-4.3.1-1.i386.rpm
     error: Failed dependencies:
             libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) is needed by sip-4.3.1-1.i386
