Huh?

How about python configure.py -q <qt directory>? This has always worked
for me here.

Tell configure the qtdir with "-q".

Huh??? Probably this is related to the above. Here QTDIR for qt3 is
/usr/share/qt3, you can find "include", "share", "bin", "lib" and so on
there. At least here on Debian.

Does Mandriva not deliver QScintilla? You can tell PyQt3's configure.py
where QScintilla headers and libs are installed, so you don't need to
install it into /usr/local, /usr or anywhere you might not have
sufficient rights to write to.

You need to edit that too? No way, just use -q <qt-dir>. Qt4 doesn't
need QTDIR at all, all is done via qmake.
