OS X Version is 10.6.8 XCode version is 4.2

Its seems that the compiler /usr/bin/g++-4.2 is referred in the configure script but it does not exist (see attached log). There is a /usr/bin/llvm-g++-4.2 though.

I tried to follow the suggestions on ​https://trac.macports.org/wiki/ProblemHotlist but none of them worked. xcode-select version 2003. (its xcode 4.2)

The following has failed:

sudo port install py27-pyqt4 configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2 configure.cxx=llvm-g++-4.2

sudo port install py27-pyqt4 configure.compiler=gcc-apple-4.2 configure.cxx=g++-apple-4.2 (BTW the problem hotlist has the gcc-apple-4.2 name wrong)

sudo port install py27-pyqt4 configure.compiler=clang configure.cxx=clang++

port clean has been done between them.

The configure script seems to always look for g++-4.2 despite the configure.compiler and configure.cxx directives suggested in ​https://trac.macports.org/wiki/ProblemHotlist.

Problem has been solved by recompiling qt4-mac from sources: sudo port -ns upgrade --force qt4-mac.

If this ticket is still valid, can you do the following:

sudo port clean py27-pyqt4
sudo port selfupdate

and then try to install or upgrade py27-pyqt4 again. There's a new qt4-mac that will hopefully fix this issue.
