I sent this yesterday but it never showed up on the list. My ISP mail
server has been unreliable so I'm sending it again. My apologies if the
first post shows up also.
I lost my email archives in a recent upgrade to RH6.1, so I don't have
anyone to reply to. But I managed to install the PyQt and PyKDE rpms
from the PyKDE page. For anyone interested:
1) Downloaded the *.src.rpm files for sip, PyQt and PyKDE.
2) Build and install binary of sip:
cd <downloadDir>
rpm --rebuild sip-0.10.1-1.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
rpm -uvh sip-0.10.1-1.i386.rpm
3) Build and install binaries of PyQt
cd <downloadDir>
rpm --rebuild PyQt-0.10.1-1.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
rpm -uvh PyQt-0.10.1-1.i386.rpm
rpm -uvh PyQt-devel-0.10.1-1.i386.rpm
4) Install PyKDE source rpm; this opens it up to enable editing the spec
file.
cd <downloadDir>
rpm -uvh PyKDE-0.10-2.src.rpm
5) Edit /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/PyKDE.spec. Find the following line:
Requires: PyQt = 0.10
and add ".1" to end, e.g.
Requires: PyQt = 0.10.1
6) Rebuild source rpm.
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpm -bs PyKDE.spec
7) Build and install binaries
cd /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS
rpm --rebuild PyKDE-0.10-2.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/
rpm -uvh PyKDE-0.10-2.i386.rpm
rpm -uvh PyKDE-devel-0.10-2.i386.rpm
I am on RH6.1/KDE1.1.2/Python1.5.2. (I actually do my installs with
kpackage).
Hope this helps someone. Of course, installing the tarballs might be
easier but I like rpms so they can be easily uninstalled.
