Hi

I am trying to install ROS from source on UBUNTU 13.10, and gets stock on the qt_qui_cpp package and gives this error:

This error may also happen if you are trying to build ROS with jade inUubuntu 15.10 (or other version of ROS or ubuntu).

It is solved if you install a few packages:

$ sudo apt-get install sip-dev python-qt4-dev python-sip-dev pyqt4-dev-tools

This fixed it for us in Ubuntu 17.04, but nowadays the packages to install are a little different:

sudo apt-get install sip-dev pyqt5-dev python-sip-dev pyqt5-dev-tools

It looks to me like your qt libraries either aren't installed or aren't up-to-date. I would try doing that and then attempting installation again.

Thanks for the quick answer, but I got the updated qt_gui_cpp from the repository : Source: git https://github.com/ros-visualization/qt_gui_core (branch: groovy-devel) and still doesn't work

Check your system dependencies not your ROS dependencies.

Thanks a lot. I got passed that by installing PYQT4, but then gives me the following error even though I used configure.py and not configure-ng.py for installing Pyqt4: [ 84%] Running SIP generator for qt_gui_cpp_sip Python bindings... File "/ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated/share/python_qt_binding/cmake/sip_configure.py", line 3, in <module> from PyQt4 import pyqtconfig ImportError: cannot import name pyqtconfig So I am not sure what is the "pyqtconfig" !! Is it a module or a .py file, and where should be located. Because as I see the pyqtconfig.py is configured and located in the "PyQt-x11-gpl-4.10.3" folder not in the "/usr/share/sip/PyQt4" folder
