I don't know about packages, but the error you're getting means what it says - build.py can't find the PyQt sip files. These are the files used to build PyQt, and if you installed a binary of PyQt, you may not have them. There should be a -devel package of some sort that contains them - if not you can download PyQt 3.8 from http://riverbankcomputing.co.uk. You should just be able to untar PyQt in a directory. That will give you the sip files - you shouldn't need to rebuild PyQt. You can then run build.py with the -v switch to specify that path: python build.py -v <path to PyQt sip files> The path will be something like: /usr/local/PyQt-x11-gpl-3.8/sip The "sip" on the end is critical - the rest just needs to be the correct path. If you get a "version mismatch" type of error (using PyKDE-3.7 with PyQt-3.8 for example), you can edit build.py to change the value of Release from "3.7" to "3.8". PyKDE doesn't work with sip4/PyQt4 yet - you need PyQt-3.7 or 3.8.
