This is a huge blessing! Thank you so much.

That said I'm having a bit of difficulty.

I believe I followed the instructions correctly including all the
symlinks that were suggested. However, I get an error.

Any tips?

Thank you.

I took a look and realized that this build doesn't use
libqt-mt.3.dylib--it is a static build. Try substituting libqt-mt.a and
libqt-mt.la in the symlinks. If this, or something like it, works, I'll
~ update the installation instructions.

Same error after doing that. Do I need to logout and log back in to
build the library list or something? on linux I'd run ldconfig, but
don't know what the equivalent is on OS/X yet.

It looks like PyQt is looking for the libaries in /usr/local/lib instead
of /usr/lib. I have the remnants of old Qt installations scattered on my
machine, which probably explains why it is working for me; those
libraries weren't part of my installer. PyQt seems to require the
dynamic instead of the static libraries.

I'm concerned that simply packaging up the libraries in the installer
might make things unpredictable. I'll have to clean up my Qt
installation and then try everything again. This will take some time,
probably a few days.

I'll post an announcement when the new build is available.
