I have followed the instructions in http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/QScintilla2/index.html and the process worked without error messages. Sorry for the noise! Thank you for the advice - greatly appreciated. I will certainly give it careful thought in my future endeavours. OTOH, it is tempting on occasions to take the lazy alternative - when your age is approaching 90 (3 years and 8 months to go :). Great to see you active and still serving SUSE community. Tempting to return to it, but ubuntu is nice and easy... Many thanks again, Al. ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt

You need to compile and install the qscintilla C++ lib before generating the python wrappers: pushd Qt4 qmake qscintilla.pro sudo make install popd > I am using a freshly installed kubuntu 11.04 "natty" OS and had a python > 2.x version of QScintilla installed from ubuntu binaries.

Al, manually compiling stuff like this should be done as the last resort only. One of the most compelling reasons to use Linux is the distributions package manager. OTOH, mixing that with manual builds is the source for many strange failures. My advice is: go through the hassle of building packages for your distribution. Even better, as far as I know, Ubuntu has something similar to openSUSE build service, or you might want to use that, since it is able to create ubuntu builds, too. Just needing the packages on a second system will pay off for the initial hassle. Guaranteed.

[PyQt] Comppiling QScintilla with python 3.2
After long trepidation, I started moving my python scripts from python 2.x to python 3.2. Pleasant surprise - sip-4.12.3 and PyQt-x11-gpl-4.8.4 compiled without problems! Python 3.2 IDLE does not work well with this version of PyQt. Anyway, eric 5.x would be better, so it is necessary to install python 3 version of QScintilla. Downloaded QScintilla-gpl-2.5.1.tar.gz, expanded the tar ball and attempted to compile: Changed the current dir to QScintilla-gpl-2.5.1/Python/ and tried the first step: $ python3.2 configure.py It immediately responded with the message: "Qsci/qsciglobal.h could not be found in /usr/include/qt4. If QScintilla is installed then use the -n argument to explicitly specify the correct directory." I am using a freshly installed kubuntu 11.04 "natty" OS and had a python 2.x version of QScintilla installed from ubuntu binaries. I thought that the message may simply be because of the installed binaries, so "completely removed" the installed QScintilla with the aid of "synaptic" program and tried to repeat the first step of compilation. It failed again with an identical message. I suspect I am doing someting wrong, but what? So where do I go from here? Your help will be greatly appreciated.
