[PyQt] Cannot 'configure' PyQt4.9 before build on Linuxmint

Tue Dec 27 10:55:57 GMT 2011

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the quick answer.  It does return the correct sip (4.13.1), and
the output of the configure reported the correct version as well.

I just noticed a few errors from the output, but I do not think that would
be related to my problem (sorry for the long output).  Anything I should
worry about, or that I may be missing?
I am installing Ubuntu on virtualbox to see if it's my environment.

Thanks. nico.
