Re: problem installing pyqt4 on FREMANTLE_ARMEL
 

Interesting. This is not related to PyQt, but a mismatch between the SDK and the Qt version you’re installing. Did you update the SDK to the latest version or tinker with base-files ? The base-files package in my SDK does NOT contain the /opt directory. I would recommend removing PyQt, doing an update/upgrade of the SDK and THEN install PyQt.
