Installing pyside-tools on Fedora 14

I was trying to do some tinkering with pyside in Fedora 14 today, but I came across a frustrating error when trying to launch designer-qt4:


undefined symbol: gst_x_overlay_set_window_handle

I needed to downgrade to phonon 4.4.2 from 4.5
Here are the steps I used to get around it:

  1. sudo yum remove phonon
  2. Disable the yum update repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo
  3. sudo yum install phonon
  4. Reenable the yum update repo
  5. sudo yum install pyside-tools
  6. relaunched designer-qt4 and it works as expected


Now I can continue developing in pyside...
