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

[William Kyngesburye]

make sure to delete the corresponding /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sipconfig.py file, just to make sure.  And any other sip and pyqt files and folders left there.

Also, try compiling without the -j 8 flag (it will take a lot longer to compile), sometimes too much parallel compilation can confuse make.  Or use a smaller number for -j.

If you still get the pyqt compile error, it's beyond me, might want to try the pyqt mailing list.
