Description Giovani M. Faccin 2008-04-22 12:18:50 UTC
Right after unpacking the source files, the program compilation fails, complaining about missing files.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 6 Andy 2008-07-22 11:13:22 UTC
I had the same problem with dev-python/PyQt4-4.3.3, also got 'ImportError: No module named sipconfig'. Reemerging dev-python/sip fixed it, PyQt4-4.3.3 now compiles without errors.
Comment 7 Giovani M. Faccin 2008-07-22 16:21:43 UTC
Whoa! Re-emerging dev-python/sip fixed it. It's interesting that in the case of this bug, even with revdep-resolve one cannot fix the problem. And to simply guess   which package has to be reemerged to solve the problem is a bit too much to ask to the common user.

Perhaps the sip package should be added to the dependencies of PyQT as something that has to be rebuild when it's emerged (even if it already exists). This way this bug would never appear again. What do you think? Is it reasonable?
Comment 9 matt 2008-08-10 22:24:46 UTC
had the same problem with dev-python/PyQt4-4.3.1 failing.  emerged dev-python/sip and then dev-python/PyQt4-4.3.1 worked.

Confirming that reemerging dev-python/sip fixes the problem on x64_64 system.
Comment 11 Markos Chandras (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-08-20 22:37:44 UTC
I also confirm it that re-emerging dev-python/fixes the problem

I wonder why revdep-rebuild couldnt fix this problem
Comment 12 Luis Villena 2008-08-30 21:12:43 UTC
re-ermerging dev-python/sip fixes the problem in x86.
Comment 13 mastertheknife 2008-12-11 10:35:40 UTC
Re-emerging dev-python/sip fixed it on my x86-64 Gentoo aswell.
Comment 14 Christian Hoffmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-04-09 11:08:23 UTC
This probably simply happens because you've recently updated python (most likely to 2.6), so PyQt4 is trying to make use of it, but sip is only installed for python 2.5.
python-updater should usually take care of it.
And after I had hit the same problem as you, I thought of running it and surely it fixed it for me.
So I guess this is simply a usage problem and not a bug...
Comment 15 Giovani M. Faccin 2009-04-09 14:11:37 UTC
I fixed it by re-emerging dev-python/sip, running python-updater and also a revdep-rebuild (just in case). Looks like this worked for other people who posted here as well. I'm going to close the bug.
