I think that your conclusion is spot on! After the installation of libxext-dev, the make process did complete on second attempt. The first attempt ended with the compiler complaining about permissions, so for the second attempt I issued sudo make and that did complete. Thank you for the great product, PyQt and your amazing patience of scanning emails and replying! Truly amazing! The following is a record of what transpired and my guesses at the resons for it and possible remedies. This record will help me for the next attempt and may help others. After *sudo make* and *sudo make install*, python3.2 failed to import PyQt4. I then tried python3.1 and found that in python3.1 it was possible to import PyQt4 and *from PyQt4 import QtCore*, but not *QtGui*. A mess. Conclusion: python3.1 first should be completely uninstalled. Also, instead of using *python3 configure.py* it is better to use *python3.2 configure.py* regardless of the fact that python3 script does invoke python3.2. I will try the installation again in a fairly freshly installed kubuntu 10.10 partition. Will report what transpires to the list. Once again, many thanks for Phil for his generosity and consistent work, OldAl. -- Algis http://akabaila.pcug.org.au/StructuralAnalysis.pdf _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list [email protected] http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
