[PyQt] compilation problem PyQt4 on ubuntu 6.10

Hi,

I'm trying to install PyQt4 on XUbuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft). PyQt4 is 
available in the apt package manager, but for some reason it only 
installs PyQt4 to the Python2.4 installation, whereas I need it for 
Python2.5 (also installed on the system). So I try a "manual" installation.

I download, unpack, "python2.5 configure.py", make and make install 
sip-4.7.5.tar.gz and PyQt-x11-gpl-4.4.tar.gz from the 
riverbankcomputing.com website. No special parameters anywhere -- 
default should be fine for me.

Sip compiles and installs fine and in the right Python2.5 location. PyQt 
configures fine, but "make" gives compile error:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/mark/tmp/PyQt-x11-gpl-4.4/QtCore'
g++ -c -pipe -fPIC -O2 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_CORE_LIB 
-I. -I/usr/include/python2.5 -I/usr/mkspecs/linux-g++ 
-I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4 -I/usr/X11R6/include -o 
sipQtCoreQMetaType.o sipQtCoreQMetaType.cpp
sipQtCoreQMetaType.cpp:290: error: ‘QTransform’ is not a member of 
‘QMetaType’
make[1]: *** [sipQtCoreQMetaType.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mark/tmp/PyQt-x11-gpl-4.4/QtCore'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Gcc version is 4.1.2.

Suggestions, anyone?

Mark
