What Should i do to get PyQt4 working?

Looks like your apt source list messed up. Go apt-get update and apt-get upgrade pyqt* python-qt4 and try again.

I had the same problem. I cleaned, erased all the files of installation and started all over again following these instructions:

If you want to use it with different version of python than 2.7 than replace every 2.7 in instructions below with the version you are using and it should work (tested with 2.6 and 3).

First, you need some prerequities: sudo apt-get install python-pip python2.7-dev libxext-dev python-qt4 qt4-dev-tools build-essential

Then, try to install the PyQt and SIP using pip (it fails but it downloads the required packages to your ~/build/ folder). pip install PyQt pip install SIP

After that go to ~/build/SIP and install it cd ~/build/SIP python2.7 configure.py make sudo make install

Finally go to ~/build/PyQt and install it Note: as PyQt is a big project - building it may take some time.. cd ~/build/PyQt python2.7 configure.py make sudo make install
