Correction: actually, what I initially tried was:

   make -j8 install

I just redid this using:

   make install

(no '-j8') and got the same error.  The only way I could get around it
was to do it in two steps:

   make
   make install


I'm doing a 'local' install, so there's no need to be root.  I thought I
could just type 'make install' without doing a 'make' first, but this
seems not to be the case, at least for me (stock RHEL 5.2, Qt 4.6.2,
PyQt-x11-gpl-4.7...)
