Ah, ok. This is why we have to install PyQT ourselves and can't rely
on the Ubuntu-installed code. That QtCoremod.sip file is installed
when we install PyQT. My guess is that you have to set up the
environmental variables before trying to configure PyQWT. I updated
the webpage to do this before anything else, so go and look at the new
order of instructions and see if that helps.

I think I did this myself and then wrote up the description out of
order because I thought it made more logical sense. Hopefully this
does it for you.

Tom
