[PyQt] PyQt installation

[Pablo Campomanes]

Dear all,

I am trying to install the latest stable version of PyQt in my computer (Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5).

First, I installed SIP from source code (sip-4.12.1.tar.gz) in a
non-standard folder (/software/sip-4.12.1) using the following protocol
based on configure, make and make install:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
python configure.py --bindir /software/sip-4.12.1/ \
--destdir /software/sip-4.12.1 --incdir /software/sip-4.12.1/ \
--sipdir /software/sip-4.12.1/ --static

This is SIP 4.12.1 for Python 2.4.3 on linux2.
The SIP code generator will be installed in /software/sip-4.12.1.
The sip module will be installed in /software/sip-4.12.1.
The sip.h header file will be installed in /software/sip-4.12.1.
The default directory to install .sip files in is /software/sip-4.12.1.
The platform/compiler configuration is linux-g++.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then, I included the non-standard folder in my $PATH  variable so that:

$ which sip
/software/sip-4.12.1/sip

And finally, I tried to install PyQt-x11-gpl-4.8.3 from the sources. But
when i tried to run configure, I found the following error message:

$ python configure.py
Error: This version of PyQt requires SIP v4.12.1 or later

I tried to find information about this issue, but I could not solve the
problem. Could anybody shed light on this problem?
Thanks a lot in advance,

Pablo.
