[PyKDE] qtgl segfault problem (PyQt-3.0)

[Robert Cimrman]

Hello,

I have a similar problem as described below in the post by Tad Thurston, 
however I use Redhat 7.2. I have tried to compile PyQt-3.0 plus sip-3.0 
for both python1.5 and python2.1 with the same result - a segfault 
whenever something form qtgl module gets called. I have included the 
offending code and gdb backtrace, see below. The code dumps core on 'if 
not QGLFormat.hasOpenGL():' line (-> only '1' is displayed). If this 
part is  commented out, it "cores" at 
'QGLWidget.__init__(self,parent,name)' line (hence printing 1, 2, 3).

Can anyone tell me what to do to make it work?
Thanks for reading this (and potentialy helping me :')),

if not QGLFormat.hasOpenGL():
     raise 'No Qt OpenGL support.'

print "2"
w  = GearWidget()
w.setGeometry(100,100,200,120)

a.setMainWidget(w)
w.show()
