I did use the maintenance branch. Sorry, should have specified.

I tried this version when I was struggling to get PyQt to work.
However, I couldn't get sip-4.4.1 to work properly with this version.
It compiled just fine, but whenever you tried to import the sip
moduled (ie. when PyQt is configured), it fails with the message:

"ImportError: Inappropriate file type for dynamic loading"

I asked on the PyKDE mailing list, and I was that something in the
flags you use makes it give that error, and that compiling from source
(enabling framework, make framework install) should fix it.
Unfortunately, I got an error when I tried compiling from source:

/usr/bin/ld: warning Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Python cputype (18,
architecture ppc) does not match cputype (7) for specified -arch flag:
i386 (file not loaded)
/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
_PyMac_Error
_Py_Main
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

It looks like this is due to ppc being specified somewhere. I didn't
see an easy to way to tell configure that I wanted i386 instead of
ppc. Is there a flag I can pass to the configure script, or do I have
to do a "CFLAGS=-arch i386" and CXXFLAGS='-arch i386'? And how do I
make this a universal app?

Thanks for your help,

Adam
