Error when installing PyQt6 from source

[RedHuli]

I am very sorry to bother again. I realized that my last message wasn't
right. I didn't solve the problem.

I am still wondering why, after performing sip-install in the PyQt6 folder,
why only sip is being built. Any ideas?

Let me know what kind of specs or any information I can give to figure this
out. Thank you!
