Greetings,

Maybe I should ask this on a Python or even KDE group... but I'd
like to get some input from here first

Has anyone successfully installed PyKDE on Slack9.1?

I have sip 3.9 and pyqt 3.9 installed.

I am trying to install PyKDE 3.8 (there is no 3.9, which is unusual),
and here's where I'm stuck (see log below)

If anyone can give me some pointers, it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

.......^^^^^^^^^^^^^^....^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^

do you have these files/directories? you say you have sip installed, but
are you sure it's not in /usr/local or some other location? in which case
you should probably tell PyKDE where to find it.
