Is there any way to get the older PyQt 3.2rc2? The snapshots directory only shows the latest build of PyQt 3.2rc4.
And before installing an older version (or any version, for that matter), is it best to uninstall any previous versions? If so, what is the best way to do this?

SIP 3.2rc1 and later fix that issue. I suggest you use SIP 3.2rc4. PyQt 3.2rc4 for Mac OS X http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/download/snapshots/PyQt-3.2rc4-Qt-3.0.2- MacX.tar.gz Note that unfortunately PyQt 3.2rc4 has some problems described below. --> Maybe it's best to stick to PyQt 3.2rc2 for now. Qt/Mac evaluation version http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/evaluate.html Python for Mac OS X http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/python There are two versions of Python for Mac OS X: * the above Python for Mac OS X which can be run from the command line * the traditional MacPython that knows nothing of command lines and UNIX Because MacPython cannot be called from the command line and I couldn't even identify a Python executable, and because PyQt requires the Python executable to be indetified using the --with-python=FILE option, we were not able to configure PyQt with MacPython. See also paragraph "MacOS X command-line interpreter" on this page: http://www.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython.html I suggest you use Python for Mac OS X from Fink. Here's how to build SIP 3.2rc4: 1) First "configure", depending on how Python is set up: ./configure ./configure --with-python=/sw/bin/python ./configure --with-python=/usr/local/python-2.2.1/bin/python 2) The resulting libtool script in the top-level directory is broken, probably because of a bug in autoconf. Please find the line beginning with archive_cmds="\$nonopt \$(test \\"x\$module\\" = xyes and change to archive_cmds="\$nonopt \$(test \"x\$module\" = xyes If you forget this, the build system will build *.dylib shared libraries instead of *.so modules or bundles. 3) Then "make". 4) Then "make install". You should probably be root for that. In any case that's how I work here. Here's how to build PyQt 3.2rc4: 1) First "configure", depending on how Python and Qt are set up: ./configure -with-qtdir=/usr/local/qt --with-python=/sw/bin/python 2) The resulting libtool script in the top-level directory is broken, probably because of a bug in autoconf.

You'll see warnings of the kind described in http://mats.gmd.de/pipermail/pykde/2002-April/002540.html http://mats.gmd.de/pipermail/pykde/2002-April/002555.html and end with: cpp-precomp: warning: errors during smart preprocessing, retrying in basic mode These warnings can be safely ignored. They're the result of a harmless compiler bug: http://www.wxwindows.org/faqmac.htm#smarterrors 4) Then "make install". You should probably be root for that. In any case that's how I work here. This will fail and I have no clue for now. It appears that static libraries are created instead of modules (bundles) so the test scripts that "import qt" fail: $ ls PyQt-3.2rc4/.libs: libqtcmodule.a libqtcmodule.la@ libqtcmodule.lai 5) Using PyQt 3.2rc2 is probably the easiest way to have PyQT up and running for now. _______________________________________________ PyKDE mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.gmd.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde _______________________________________________ PyKDE mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.gmd.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde
