I did a find in /usr and /opt for *.sip.  Aside from the correct sip
files which are in /usr/share/sip/PyQt4, the only other sip files I
see on my machine are in /opt/kde3/share/sip.

If I strace my sip command and grep for the opens, I see that sip is
opening the sip files in /usr/share/sip/PyQt4 (which all have a
timestamp of yesterday when I reinstalled).

I can't see anything wrong in my installation.  I've created a trivial
test extension and can run that on my home machine with different
linux version, different Qt version, different PyQt version and get
the same results.  If I'm installing something wrong, I'm at least
consistently installing wrong, and the only symptom is that I cannot
build a sip extension.

Would you mind downloading this?  <http://www.kkcsm.net/pqtext.tar.gz>

You should be able to modify the first few lines of the makefile
appropriately and do this:

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`
$ make
$ ./tst.py

When I run this I see my classes base to be <class
'PyQt4.QtCore.QFileSystemWatcher'> when I believe it should be QFile.
I'm hoping you'll be able to reproduce my failure, or show that
everything works well when properly installed.  (at which point I'll
be doomed).

Thank you,
