[Qgis-user] QGIS installation problem with Mac OSX 10.8.4 and some Qt4 Modules

Sat Jul 6 01:16:12 PDT 2013

Hello,

I removed everything from homebrew which could cause problems for a QGIS installation. I just left bison and expat in homebrew, for sqlite I was not sure if I can leave it (see below the brew list). Then I installed the required components according the install instruction, Qt 4.8.5, your frameworks (gdal complete) and postgres+postgis extension, spatialindex 1.8.1and sip 4.14.7. I got stacked installing PyQt 4.10.2. This program looks for sip 4.14.6 which is the old (previous) installation (see below). My interpretation is that the sip 4.14.7 installation was not good, although there was no error message. Any idea?

Thank you
Marcel
