That was it! Thanks for the help Phil. I'm glad that it was such an easy fix. In case anyone else needs help with this, this is what I did. Check the permissions: # ls -l /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/PyQt4/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 16 22:56 elementtree/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1619 May 17 00:04 __init__.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12684 May 17 00:04 pyqtconfig.py -rwxr-x--- 1 root root 21584 May 17 00:04 QtAssistant.so* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1676672 May 17 00:04 QtCore.so* -rwxr-x--- 1 root root 398112 May 17 00:04 QtDesigner.so* -rwxr-x--- 1 root root 6854032 May 17 00:04 QtGui.so* ... The shared objects are only readable and executable by root, so I can't access them as my user. Fix the permissions as root: # sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/PyQt4/*.so Verify that the permissions have changed: # ls -l /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/PyQt4/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 16 22:56 elementtree/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1619 May 17 00:04 __init__.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12684 May 17 00:04 pyqtconfig.py -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21584 May 17 00:04 QtAssistant.so* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1676672 May 17 00:04 QtCore.so* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 398112 May 17 00:04 QtDesigner.so* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6854032 May 17 00:04 QtGui.so* ... Now, make sure pyqt works: PyQt-x11-gpl-4.4 # ./examples/tutorial/t1.py We see a window, yay!
