OK, it sounds like you're building against a non-X11 version of Qt.

Is the Qt-4.6.2 installation a regular X11 installation, and is the
QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm installation a QWS (non-X11, embedded Linux)
installation?

It sounds like there is a mismatch between PyQt and the installation of Qt
you are using. If I remember correctly, you should be using the qmake
executable in the QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm installation.

Can you say how you configured each Qt library and how you configured PyQt?
(Which options did you pass to the configure scripts?)
