Use the latest snapshots that are earlier than 20060213, eric3 doesn't
seem to work with the latest versions (at least thats what happens
here). Maybe it'll work with tomorrows snapshots...

eric3 doesn't need to be compiled. It's just installed. Only sip and
PyQt3, PyQt4 need to be compiled.

No, (Py)Qt4 doesn't need any QTDIR setting anymore.

you need the latest snapshots of all parts or the latest released
version of all parts.

It seems that the recent changes in sip/PyQt are troubling eric3... If
it's not fixed tomorrow I'll report here with a backtrace...

Using 

sip-snapshot-20060126
PyQt-x11-gpl-snapshot-20060124
PyQt4-gpl-snapshot-20060128
eric3-snapshot-20060123

worked fine for me. I can send you the files for sip/PyQt/PyQt4 as Phil
only makes the latest versions available.
