[PyQt] PyQt 4.7.4 compilation problems on Ubuntu 10.04

Hi,

Has anyone on the list had success compiling PyQt 4.7.4 for Python 3.1
on the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 10.04?

Configuration (using SIP 4.10.5) seems to have worked OK, but the
'make' phase fails when attempting to build QtHelp.so, with the
following error message:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext

The compiler command clearly includes a -L/usr/lib option, and
/usr/lib does contain a libXext.so library, so I can't understand the
reason for the linker error.

Any suggestions gratefully received!


Nick
