Hi Darrell,

It didn't help, but thanks anyway. PyKDE3 is obviously significantly 
different to python-tqt. With python-tqt there is no '-L' configure 
option and LIBPATH etc seem to be ignored. The '-k' option tells 
python-tqt to build static libs, the '-n' option relates to TQScintilla 
headers and the '-o' option to TQScintilla libs.

I shall plod on.

Cheers,
Mike.
