[Pyqt-mac-list] ImportError: Inappropriate file type for dynamic loading

[Patrick S. <pat...@gm...>]

I had everything working with standard OS X python2.3, but started getting
this error after trying to install with python2.4.2 from source, and also
with python.org's 2.4.1 binaries.

patrickkidd:~/Desktop/PyQt4-gpl-snapshot-20060314 patrick$ python
Python 2.4.1 (#2, Mar 31 2005, 00:05:10)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1666)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import PyQt4.QtGui
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: Inappropriate file type for dynamic loading
>>>

Now I can't get it working anywhere. I'm sure this has something to do with
the mkspec build profile (of which I'm using macx-g++). After looking in th=
e
python source, this error is raised when the interpreter attempts to open a
file as a shared library anf failes with a "not approriate" kind of error.
Anyway, I get this in a few other places on my mac as well, and it would be
nice to sort out. I built qt-4.1.1 from source with ./configure -qt-gif.

- OS X python-2.4.1 binaries from python.org
- python.org tiger fix
- qt-4.1.1
- latest snapshots of sip and PyQt4
