Just a short update: I managed to compile on my solaris machine now, here is the version summary (a full description of the necessary config/tweaks will follow later on):
Solaris 8 gcc 2.95.2 PyKDE version 3.11.3 PyQt version is 3.13 (3.13.0) sip version is 4.1.1 (4.1.1) Python version is 2.3.4 Qt version is 3.3.3 KDE version is 3.3.2 (0x30302) Now, when I run the uisampler example program, some things work fine but others don´t: $ python2.3 uisampler.py ... Traceback (innermost last): File "xmlmenudemo.py", line 44, in ? from qt import QPopupMenu, SIGNAL, QLabel, QIconSet ImportError: ld.so.1: python: fatal: relocation error: file /data/pydev/DOWNLOADS/PYQTKDE/build/lib/python2.3/site-packages/qt.so: symbol PyUnicode_Type: referenced symbol not found This happens e.g. if I try to launch the XML->KActionCollection. Looking at my python interpreter says: $ nm /apps/prod/bin/python2.3 |grep PyUnicode_Type 000fd158 D PyUnicode_Type 000d7fd0 R _PyUnicode_TypeRecords Confusing. Finally I looked at the sample python code in uimodules/uixml.py: ... def xmlKActionCollection (parent): parent.currentPageObj = PageLaunch (parent) os.system ("python xmlmenudemo.py") ... And there it is: We have several python versions here and for reasons I cannot change at the moment the "unqualified" python must still link to python1.5. $ ll -i /apps/prod/bin/pyth* 275644 -rwxr-xr-x 2 root other 547732 Aug 4 2000 /apps/prod/bin/python* 275644 -rwxr-xr-x 2 root other 547732 Aug 4 2000 /apps/prod/bin/python1.5* 325698 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root other 1592778 Dec 13 2001 /apps/prod/bin/python2.1* 77274 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root other 2618910 Jul 23 2004 /apps/prod/bin/python2.3* os.system ("python xmlmenudemo.py") invokes this out-of-date version instead of the interpreter I used to run the main program uisampler.py. This even happens if I alias python to "python2.3" and, as I said, I cannot not alter the link to the new version python2.3. Suggestion: Why not use sys.executable instead of the literal "python" here: ... def xmlKActionCollection (parent): parent.currentPageObj = PageLaunch (parent) os.system("%s xmlmenudemo.py" % sys.executable) ... Anyway, thanks a lot for all the hints so far! (@Pete who couldn´t resist: I know I know - blame my employer. Otherwise, they let me work with python, so I tend to overlook such minor annoyances...)
