[PyQt] Cannot 'configure' PyQt4.9 before build on Linuxmint

[Nico Dufort]

Hello,

I need to build PyQt4 for use with an existing software (The Foundry's
Nuke6.3v4).  That software uses Python 2.6 which requires me to build a
separate version of Python for my system (LinuxMint 12, w/ Python 2.7).

I have built python-2.6.7 fine.
I have built sip-4.13.1 fine.
I have built qt-everywhere-opensource-4.8.0 fine.
I fail on configuring PyQt-4.9 before evening building it (using
/opt/python-2.6.7/bin/python2.6
./configure.py -q /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.8.0/bin/qmake -w):

Generating the C++ source for the QtDeclarative module...
"/opt/python-2.6.7/bin/sip" -w -o -P -x VendorID -t WS_X11 -x PyQt_OpenSSL
-x PyQt_NoPrintRangeBug -t Qt_4_8_0 -x Py_v3 -g -a QtDeclarative.api -c
/home/nico/Downloads/py4nk/PyQt-x11-gpl-4.9/QtDeclarative -b
QtDeclarative/QtDeclarative.sbf -I

sip: __or__() unsupported function return type - provide %MethodCode and a
C++ signature
Error: Unable to create the C++ code.

Earlier this year, I managed to build PyQt4 on Ubuntu, but it was a version
for Python 2.5.  I do not recall having any problem at all when I did.  I'm
about to install VirtualBox to run a few test cases, but if anyone can
point me towards what I may be doing wrong, that would be great.  Not sure
if that -x Py_v3 is a hint.  Or perhaps there is a mismatch elsewhere in my
packages?

Thanks. nico
