Hi Tim,
I recently ran into an error starting my QGIS application. This i assume is after I updated my SIP libraries. At startup of QGIS the following error is displayed:

File “/usr/bin/pyuic4″, line 3, in
import PyQt4.uic.pyuic
File “/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/PyQt4/uic/pyuic.py”, line 4, in
from PyQt4 import QtCore
RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v7.0 to v7.1 but the PyQt4.QtCore module requires API v6.0

This error also prevents me from re-installing QGIS following your steps above.
I’ve tried removing SIP completely and repeating your steps to install the dependencies, but the error persists.

Any suggestions on what I should do?
T

Thanks

Hello, thank you very much for your blog. The following packages are also needed for the compilation of GRASS GIS:

pyqt4-dev-tools
libgsl0-dev
sip4

Thank you.

is GRASS in this exact path?

/usr/lib64/grass64/lib/

if not, adapt it to the actual path to GRASS lib folder.

@aperson

I tried your tip (on a really fresh 9.10), but found that it should not be
add-app-repository
but
add-apt-repository (mind the T)

besides that I got a http not found message if I try
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis-unstable
but
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/
succeeded
(though it says that it installs the “Launchpad ubuntugis-stable” key ??)
And after that apparently we do not have the src-packages, I still had to do:
sudo su -c “echo ‘deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu karmic main’ >> /etc/apt/sources.list”
to complete the rest of this workout of tim

Tim,

I’m sure that I’m installing qgis to Home directory because I created a Dev dirwich contains cpp, qgis and build subdirectories and the build process has been made inside the build subdirectory.
I’ve tried to run with make install as root I don’t get any error message, but when I try to run qgis in the prompt, I get a notice that qgis cannot be be found….

It looks like you are installing to /usr instead of -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${HOME}/apps as per my notes above – in which case you should probably run make install as root e.g.:

sudo make install

Regards

Tim
