I got hit by this as well. Apparently having the correct sip in your path may not be enough. I have attached a script that properly builds sip+qt assuming you have downloaded the current tarballs. It also has the command that fails (SLED10-64/Ubuntu10-64) so Phil can take a look at it.
Essentially: I had to specifically tell PyQt's configure where the sip include file (include/sip.h) was. > sip -V 4.13.2 > which sip .../sip-4.13.2/bin/sip > python configure.py \ -q .../Trolltech/Qt-4.8.0/bin/qmake \ -e .../sip-4.13.2/include \ -v .../sip-4.13.2/share/sip Note that "-e" and "-v" are the same flags as how you configured sip which is how I figured this out in the first place (purely by serendipity, I copied the wrong configure flags in a shell by accident) I kind of think this might be a bug in the PyQt configure, but then I know all about configuration hell so I have some sympathy ( I had to patch Qt 4.8 to properly build WebKit on SLED10-64 as well ). I don't have sympathy for the amount of time it took me to figure this out though, so hopefully this will help future coders. :) Brian On 4/19/12 2:09 PM, "murison" <muri...@alpheratz.net> wrote: >I, too, am stopped cold by this very same problem.
