pyqt4 hang at configure

[matteobachetti@…]

Good morning, I have a problem with pyqt4. I'm running an upgrade (upgrade outdated) and when it reaches pyqt4 (both the py25 and the py26 versions) it hangs during configure. I've run it with the debug mode but it gives no errors, it justs stays in the configure script forever (at least 10 hours...) Here's the line of the debug output where it hangs:

DEBUG: Assembled command: 'cd
"/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.
org_release_ports_python_py26-pyqt4/work/PyQt-mac-gpl-4.7.7" &&
/opt/local/bin/python2.6 configure.py  -q /opt/local/bin/qmake 
--confirm-license LFLAGS="-F/opt/local/Library/Frameworks -L/opt/local/lib"'

Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Matteo

It also gets stuck for me at the same place, which is strange because I know I just installed it correctly maybe a week ago. Running the 'configure.py' script by hand seems to work, so I'm guessing this issue is due to a change in 'port' itself.

I tried to run it by hand, copying the command from the command line, and it gets stuck after saying "Determining the layout of your Qt installation...". If I press Ctrl+C to stop it, the following message comes out:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "configure.py", line 2138, in <module>

Is it the same for you?

I'm assuming you are on trunk but a regular user is likely gonna use a stable release. Has stable been updated lately?

Did you run a port selfupdate?

Can you try to run configure.py with -v python option?

I'm attaching the output of my output, I'm quickly asked to accept the GPL license terms.

I'm attaching mine. Yes, I ran selfupdate and now the version of Macports is 1.9.2

Sorry, the first file name was misleading so I resubmitted it with a better name. You can delete the first, if possible.

Another user ​found a neverending loop in site-packages/sipconfig.py, maybe this error is due to py26-sip port.

What py26-sip version do you have?
