[Qgis-developer] cmake and ccmake usage - "Python bindings disabled"

[icosa atropa]

Thanks for previous ccmake+feisty+libgdal pointers.  I'm still getting
comfortable with cmake.  You pointed me in the right direction, and i
successfully built and ran 0.9.

I ran into some confusing cmake and ccmake behavior - using the
"ccmake" invocation, when I press "c" to configure my values, it
flashes messages including "Python bindings disabled due to dependency
problems" on the status bar... "e" doesn't show errors, and I can
still "g"enerate.  Is it possible to see (and respond to) these
messages in "ccmake"?

In cmake, what i'm assuming are the same messages go to the console.
I get I've verified the locations of the sip binary, python2.5
libraries, PyQt4, but I don't see where to specify PyQt4 location and
I still get

-- SIP not found!
-- PyQt4 not found!
-- Python bindings disabled due dependency problems!

any ideas?
best,
christian

Far better an approximate answer to the right question, which is often
vague, than the exact answer to the wrong question, which can always
be made precise -- j.w. tukey
