Try some of the example programs from PyQt examples3/ directory. All work. I had actually built the packages several times, which explains why PyQt is working. I rebuilt PyQt (just for good measure) and then rebuilt PyKDE with the -v switch you suggested cd /usr/local/PyKDE-3.3.2 make clean python build.py -lqt-mt -c -v/usr/local/PyQt-x1l-gpl-3./sip make make install and that fixed the problem. This should be mentioned in the README. Jim, you rock! Thank you. ___ PyKDE mailing list[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.gmd.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde

I think I got everything to work once on Red Hat 8.0, and I may have even uploaded the RedHat 8.0 RPMs. Check out pykde.sf.net. Download the "spec" files for the package you are trying to compile. There may be some patch files you want to look at as well. I can't recall what I did to get it to compile correctly, but whatever it was, it worked (I think). Go ahead and email me privately if that isn't helping much, and I'll look into it in more detail and give a better answer. -- Jonathan Gardner [EMAIL PROTECTED] Python Qt perl apache and linux ___ PyKDE mailing list[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.gmd.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde

The KDEDIR export is only needed to build. > I also note that README's say I should use -lqt-mt when building > (because I have KDE 3). What is this? There are two versions of the Qt lib - libqt is un-threaded and libqt-mt is threaded. KDE 2.x.x (as normally compiled) will only work with libqt, KDE 3.x.x will only work with libqt-mt. PyQt will work with either lib, but PyKDE requires the the Qt lib that matches the KDE version. If you use the wrong KDE/Qt combination, everything will compile/link/install, but nothing will run. > Anyway, I continue with the following commands (as su) with no > apparent errors: > > cd /usr/local/PyQt-x11-gpl-3.5 > python build.py -lqt-mt -c > make > make install > cd /usr/local/sip-x11-gpl-3.5 > python build.py -lqt-mt > make > make install > cd /usr/local/PyKDE-3.3.2 > python build.py -lqt-mt -c You should build sip first, then PyQt, and then PyKDE. If the sequence above is what you actually did, you built PyQt with the version of sip that comes with RH 8.0 (not likely 3.5), and then built PyKDE with sip 3.5 but probably against the PyQt sip files that came with RH 8.0 (also probably not 3.5). I don't believe that a normal PyQt install will put any files in /usr/share/sip/qt/ - I'd expect to find them in /usr/local/PyQt-x11-gpl-3.5/sip from the above. (locate won't see them until updatedb is run again) Just like the qt/qt-mt situation above, this stuff will often compile and link with completely wrong sets of files, but then won't work when you try to run something. Try the following: 1. run sip -V -- you should see 3.5 2. In the Python interpreter, try 'import qt'; if that works, try 'import dcop' and 'import kdecore' (kdeui depends on all 3 of those). I'm guessing none of those will work either. 3. Try some of the example programs from PyQt examples3/ directory. If PyQt works (import qt and examples), there's some other problem related to PyKDE. If PyQt doesn't work, you should be able to rebuild PyQt (if the sip version reports correctly) and then rebuild PyKDE with the correct path in the -v switch. If the sip version doesn't report correctly, you'll need to uninstall sip (using rpm -e) and then rebuild sip, PyQt and finally PyKDE. Alternatively, you can find the version of sip you built above and make sure it's earlier in PATH than the RH version, and then rebuild PyQt and PyKDE. > The last command says "can't find PyQt()/sip modules".

I am a newbie, so be gentle please. TIA You seem to be doing fine - you've solved most of the problems already. This is all pretty confusing at first (or in my case often still is).

[PyKDE] Problems building pyKDE 3.3.2 on RedHat 8.0
I am trying to build and install the following packages, but encountering problems. PyQt-x11-gpl-3.5.tar.gz sip-x11-gpl-3.5.tar.gz PyKDE-3.3.2-3.tar.gz My system is RedHat 8.0, Qt: 3.0.5, KDE: 3.0.3-8.3 Red Hat, Python: 2.2.1. Here is what I did. I unpacked each of the 3 packages above to /usr/local. I noted in the README files that environment variable KDEDIR is supposed to be defined. On my system, it is not. Hmmm, why not? Worse, the following directory structure is expected $KDEDIR/lib $KDEDIR/include but apparently on my RH system, I have /usr/lib/kde3 /usr/include/kde Notice how the directories are "inverted" from what is expected. I note on the web that most systems have KDEDIR pointing to /opt/kde, but my /opt directory is empty, so I do the following commands: mkdir /opt/kde ln -s /usr/lib /opt/kde/lib ln -s /usr/include/kde /opt/kde/include export KDEDIR=/opt/kde I also note that README's say I should use -lqt-mt when building (because I have KDE 3). What is this? Anyway, I continue with the following commands (as su) with no apparent errors: cd /usr/local/PyQt-x11-gpl-3.5 python build.py -lqt-mt -c make make install cd /usr/local/sip-x11-gpl-3.5 python build.py -lqt-mt make make install cd /usr/local/PyKDE-3.3.2 python build.py -lqt-mt -c The last command says "can't find PyQt()/sip modules". I look in the build.py code and see that it is looking for qtmod.sip. Locate command reports "/usr/share/sip/qt/qtmod.sip", so I continue with the following commands (with no apparent errors): python build.py -lqt-mt -c -v/usr/share/sip/qt/qtmod.sip make make install When I try some of the examples, I get an error. For example: $python Python 2.2.1 (#1, Aug 30 2002, 12:15:30) [GCC 3.2 20020822 (Red Hat Linux Rawhide 3.2-4)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import kdeui Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ?

Hi, I'm trying to find a little example app using Qthreads, before I use them for more complex matters. I've search all over the place but can't seem to find one. I don't suppose anyone has a small program or knows where I can find an example?
