PyKDE 4 currently requires the following: * A recent Python (2.7.1 & 3.2.0 are what I've been testing with) * SIP version 4.12.2 or later. http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/sip/index.php * PyQt 4.8.4 or later. Also available at Riverbank Computing. * KDE 4 libs and development headers etc. kdelibs, kdepimlibs and kdesupport modules. Depending on how you work, you might want to install the extra python modules into a separate Python interpreter installation. Make sure that the Python interpreter that you want to use is the first one found on your $PATH or explicitly specify a python executable as an argument to cmake (option -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python etc). By default, the supplied tools (pykdeuic4) are installed both as a Python version depdendent name (e.g. pykdeuic4-2.7 for Python 2.7) and a symlink to $BIN_INSTALL_DIR/pykdeuic4, but like Python's own "make altinstall" this can be overriddent by passing -DPYKDEUIC4_ALTINSTALL=TRUE to the CMake options: in such a case, only the version dependent name is installed. Once everything is built and installed, run the following in this current directory as a test: python importTest.py If the importTest.py works without any error messages, then your installation is in good shape.
