Snow leopard and Qt/PyQt 4.8.x won’t work

Snow leopard and Qt/PyQt 4.8.x won't work

If you try to install, even with Homebrew the latest version of Qt the 4.8.x, you may end up haing a surprise like that :

ImportError: dlopen(/usr/local/lib/python/PyQt4/QtWebKit.so, 2): Symbol not found: _kCFWebServicesProviderDefaultDisplayNameKey
Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/QtWebKit.framework/Versions/4/QtWebKit
Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation

This is coming precisely from a Qt issue that don't seem to be resolved anytime soon, so anyway you're warned now, revert back to 4.7.x you have no choice. Except if you want to buy Lion

Hi Vale,

Today, I was compiled the source Qt Library 4.8 package on 10.6.8, and it just works! It's not required to buy Lion

Seems the .dmg downloaded from offical site is compiled on 10.7.

Compile with default configuration took 6+ hours on my MBP, and 2+ hours with:
$ ./configure -release -shared -opensource && make -j4
