[Qgis-user] two problems

[Saulteau Don]

That sip error has me stumped, the only thing I could guess is that
for some reason QGIS compiled against python3 and maybe sip for
python3 is not installed.
It should of built against python2.

Do you get anything that looks useful in an strace when starting QGIS
from the command line? I'd recommend looking at that, though I'm not
personally the best at reading those things, but sometimes something
does stand out.
