[IPython-dev] 0.11 on RHEL5/x86

[Albert Chin]

I built ipython-0.11 on RHEL5/x86. Executing "ipython" works.
Executing "ipython qtconsole" exhibits the following failure. Any idea
on how to resolve it? I'm using nose-1.0.0, pygments-1.4,
sphinx-1.0.8, zeromq-2.1.9, pyzmq-2.1.9, qt-4.4.3, sip-4.9.3, and
PyQt-4.6.2.

$ ipython qtconsole
