[QScintilla] PyQt Bindings for QScintilla on OS X 10.4 dlopen Problem

[Curtis Faith]

I am in the process of installing Eric 4 on and am stuck on one of  
the steps since it seems that QScintilla's python bindings are not  
setup correctly.

Here are my current versions:

> Python-2.5.1
> qt-mac-opensource-4.3.0
> sip-4.6
> PyQt-mac-gpl-4.2
> QScintilla-1.73-gpl-2.1

I have been working on this for several days. I have run into many  
problems and it is a bit of a whack-a-mole in that everytime I fix  
one problem another pops up, sometimes the same one I faced earlier.  
I have followed the directions explicitly but they are no where near  
sufficient on OS X.

My current problem is getting the PyQt bindings for QScintilla  
working. I have had these working before but then had the problem I  
outline below (currently I can import qVersion fine and don't get a  
Bus Error).

I do get an error saying that I need to install QScintilla because  
the python install script can't find the library. I isolated this  
down to the following interpreter snippet.

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54869, Apr 18 2007, 22:08:04)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> from PyQt4 import Qsci
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/ 
lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyQt4/Qsci.so, 2): Library not loaded:  
libqscintilla2.2.dylib
   Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/ 
lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyQt4/Qsci.so
   Reason: image not found
 >>>

I have tried copying the libqscintilla2.2.dylib file various places  
to see if I can at least get past this error but can't seem to. I am  
just now returning to the Mac from a long hiatus in the hell of  
Windows and haven't used FreeBSD in years so I have no idea how  
Python on darwin loads dynamic libraries which doesn't help.

Does anyone have any ideas what might be going on?
