[PyKDE] build problems.

[Dan Keshet]

Thanks David,

I got it to compile and test okay today on debian.  I needed to do the 
following things:

1) use -q /usr/share/qt3/ -r /usr/lib for build.py
2) Edit line 624 of discover.py like so:

~>diff old/build/discover.py new/build/discover.py 
624c624
<         self.pyQtSip = DiscoverPyQtSip (os.path.join ("PyQt-x11-gpl-" + 
self.pyQtLib.vers, "sip", "qtmod.sip"), pyQtSipPath)
---
>         self.pyQtSip = DiscoverPyQtSip (os.path.join ("qtmod.sip"), 
pyQtSipPath)

3) Comment out a function in kaccelmanager.sip

Thanks to everybody for their kind help.
