[PyKDE] PyQt4

[Spencer Ogden]

Do tell. I'm trying to install on my gentoo box. I'm using 
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" and I put the latest version of PyQt4 and sip in 
my package.unmask. Qt 4.1.2 and sip build fine, PyQt gives a some errors:

g++ -c -pipe -fPIC -O2 -mcpu=i686 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -DQT_NO_DEBUG 
-DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -I. -I//usr/include/python2.4 
-I/usr/include/python2.4 -I/usr/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I/usr/include/qt4 
-I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include -o 
sipQtGuiQAbstractButton.o sipQtGuiQAbstractButton.cpp
sipQtGuiQWidget.cpp: In function `PyObject*
   meth_QWidget_accessibleName(PyObject*, PyObject*)':
sipQtGuiQWidget.cpp:3107: error: `accessibleName' undeclared (first use this
   function)

Followed by more undeclared stuff. Is there something I can do to get 
portage to use more recent versions of sip and PyQt, (besides writing 
new ebuilds, I don't want it that bad)?

On another note, installation on windows went very smoothly and 
everything appears to work well in the examples. Thanks for everyones 
work, I'm looking forward to digging in.
