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

Sat Jul 6 08:16:01 PDT 2013

yeah, something for the old sip was not deleted...  try this:

start python2.7, then:

  import sipconfig
  sipconfig.__file__

This should tell you where pyqt configure is finding sip.  You can also get the details of that sipconfig:

  from sipconfig import _pkg_config
  _pkg_config

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?
