Hi - I am building pyqt4 with python2.7 on redhat 6.  I've installed 
python2.7 from the sources, which works fine for everything else I've 
tried.  When I run  python2.7 configure.py, I get the following error:

# python2.7 configure.py
Determining the layout of your Qt installation...
Error: Failed to determine the layout of your Qt installation. Try again 
using the --verbose flag to see more detail about the problem.

I've read tha the way around this, is to issue the following command, 
which appeared to work:

python2.7 configure.py --qmake /usr/bin/qmake-qt4 -g

This completed successfully.  But when I run make, I get the following 
error.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.
