Pyqt error: qmake is not an executable
-
Hey
I am trying to install pyqt but getting:
@configure.py: error: '/Users/Chris/Qt5.4/5.4/clang_64/bin/qmake' is not an executable@
I am following the instructions on a site which tells me to:
@ cd /var/tmp
cp /Users/gvincent/Downloads/PyQt-gpl-5.2.1.tar.gz .
cp /Users/gvincent/Downloads/sip-4.15.5.tar.gz .
tar xvf PyQt-gpl-5.2.1.tar.gz
tar xvf sip-4.15.5.tar.gz
cd sip-4.15.5/
python3 configure.py -d ~/.env/ariane_mail/lib/python3.4/site-packages --arch x86_64
make
sudo make install
sudo make clean
cd ../PyQt-gpl-5.2.1/
python3 configure.py --destdir ~/.env/ariane_mail/lib/python3.4/site-packages --qmake ~/Qt5.2.1/5.2.1/clang_64/bin/qmake
make
sudo make install
sudo make clean
~/.env/ariane_mail/bin/python -c "import PyQt5"**@
The part thats giving me the error is the@python3 configure.py --destdir ~/.env/ariane_mail/lib/python3.4/site-packages --qmake ~/Qt5.2.1/5.2.1/clang_64/bin/qmake

I would check the permissions on qmake. Make sure the executable bit is set. Using Finder, CMD I on the file and verify it says 'Unix Executable File'.
It is obviously OS X but the location it is in wouldn't be typical for an executable that was installed (nothing says it can't be there mind you).
