It turned out I had Qt 5 installed in my user folder, and was trying to install PyQt from a different account...

So, with Qt 5 safely (I guess) installed in /usr/local/ , I tried again...

(note that I'd sudo'ed (it failed with a permission problem when I didn't), and also explicitly pointed at Qt 5.0.2's qmake

I have Xcode installed in /Developer (the default installation location), so clang is at /Developer/usr/bin/ - is that the right location?

anyway, there does appear to be no such thing installed as clang++ ... is this a typo somewhere or have I done something else wrong?

Thanks
