Uninstall any rpm sip versions and download the latest sip from
http://riverbankcomputing.co.uk.

Install the new sip version, and then configure, make and
install PyQt. The PyQt version (3.2.4 for example) and sip
version (also 3.2.4) have to match. Also, the location of the
sip libraries was changed in recent versions.
