Unable to install py27-pyqt4

[josefaffourtit]

Log file attached.

I've tried:

sudo port clean --all py27-pyqt4

sudo port selfupdate

sudo port install py27-pyqt4

To no avail. I am trying to install sciDAVis for academic purposes.

In the future, please fill in the Port field.

Replying to mf2k:

Any thoughts on a resolution or workaround? I'm not very familiar with MacPorts.

What does the following return for you:

port installed cctools

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

My installed cctools is "cctools @921_0+llvm70", and it works on 10.14.2 latest to build py27-pyqt4.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Thus you can try this if you want to; it might work:

sudo port clean py27-pyqt4
sudo port -f deactivate cctools
sudo port install py27-pyqt4
sudo port activate cctools

Or you can try to reinstall cctools to get the current default (+llvm70) ... either might work.
