Qt 4.5.0 works fine. However the version of PyQt is too old. You will need to install PyQt 4.5.x (I have 4.5.2 installed and it's fine). You can build and install PyQt 4.5 from source.

The problem with the ebook-viewer is a conflict between PyQt 4.4 and Qt 4.5. You can get it working if you remove the line:

Code:
self.view.setProperty("url", QtCore.QVariant(QtCore.QUrl("about:blank")))
in the main_ui.py file for the viewer. Or you can install PyQt 4.5 and then it works fine.
