Please define: suse linux ( 11 sp1)

The output of:
cat /etc/SuSE-release

You're missing to install the current sip package beforehand. 

I'm attending current packages for a bunch of openSUSE products here:

https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Afrispete%3APyQt

and 

https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Afrispete%3APyQt-next

See my former announcements on this list for detailed descriptions.
