If they're all about spatialite, then this could be an old or incomplete spatialite install (/usr/local) or confusion with the SQLite framework vs. your /usr/local install.

There should be no problems with SIP 4.14.7, PyQt 4.10.2 and Qt 4.8.5 (just tried it myself).

Sorry, I don't do homebrew (or any other package manager), so I can't help if it has messed up something or is confusing configuration.

I actually haven't checked the install instructions in a while (something I need to do before release), but my own notes haven't changed in a while so INSTALL should still be good.

It?  as in /usr/local spatialite?  I'm not sure exactly what files are installed, but look for:

/usr/local/bin:

  exif_locader
  rasterlite*
  shp_doctor
  spatialite*

/usr/local/lib:

  librasterlite*.dylib
  libspatialite*.dylib

/usr/local/include:

  spatialite [a folder]
  spatialite.h

For QGIS cmake configuration, just remove the spatialite library & include options and it will automatically find my SQLite (spatialite) framework.
