Just as a general comment, compiling PyKDE from source requires valid versions 
of sipconfig.py and pyqtconfig.py in the Python module install path (usually 
site-packages/). It also requires a set of PyQt .sip files to be installed. 
The first is how PyKDE finds relevant paths and info about the sip/PyQt 
installation; the second serve about the same function as .h files when 
compiling a C/C++ program that links to other libs.

If installed from RPMs or some other package, packagers need to make that info 
available and users need to install that stuff (if it's not part of the basic 
install, for example in a separate devel package).

The PyKDE source from riverbankcomputing won't build against gcc >= 3.4 - that 
should be fixed in 3-4 weeks. The PyKDE source in kde-bindings in the KDE 
subversion repository will.
