Installation of moogli (No PYQT4_SIP_FLAGS found. Can't continue)

[schm9596]

I am trying to install moose on a Centos 7 machine. I have installed everything successfully up to moogli. I can run examples in the python shell.

I installed all the dependency successfully with: $ sudo yum install sip-devel PyQt4-devel qt4-devel libjpeg-devel PyQt4

Then I entered the following to install moogli in the moogli folder: $ mkdir _build $ cd _build $ cmake ..

I get the following error:

-- The C compiler identification is GNU 4.8.5 -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 4.8.5 -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- works -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ -- works -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done -- Found PythonDev: /usr/bin/python-config
++ Found SIP flags: CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:26 (MESSAGE): ++ No PYQT4_SIP_FLAGS found. Can't continue

I have pyqt4 installed with python 2.7.

Thanks for the help.

I was able to build moogli on a fresh docker image of centos-7. However, I had epel repos enabled and I was using cmake3. I could not get configuration done with default cmake.

# yum install epel-release
# yum update
# yum install cmake3
# cmake3 ..
# make -j4  # parallel build

If this fails let me know. MOOGLI is likely to cause headache. We have success only on Ubuntu/Debian machines with MOOGLI.

Importantly MOOGLI is no longer maintained actively. And there is plan to drop it in favor of matplotlib/d3js which is a work in progress.

I got the same error again after the following:

$ yum install epel-release $ yum update $ yum install cmake3 $ mkdir _build $ cd _build $ cmake3 ..

Download this file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BhallaLab/moogli/master/moogli/cmake_modules/FindPyQt4.py and run it. Post the output,

  $ python FindQt4.py

I used following bash script on a fresh docker image of centos-7.

if [ ! -d  moogli ]; then 
        git clone https://github.com/BhallaLab/moogli --depth 50 
fi 
sudo yum install epel-release -y 
sudo yum install git cmake3 python-devel gcc-c++ -y 
sudo yum install sip-devel PyQt4-devel qt4-devel libjpeg-devel PyQt4 -y 
sudo yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' -y 
( 
        cd moogli 
        mkdir -p _build 
        cd _build 
        cmake3 ..  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
        make -j4 
        sudo make install 
)
python -c 'import moogli'

Build was successful.

After running FindQt4.py I got the following message:

I've successfully built moogli package for CentOS-7: It should be available here shortly: https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Amoose&package=moogli . Install it from here, Let me know if something breaks.

You can see the build log for CentOS-7 here. to debug your problem. Unfortunately I can't reproduce your error on any of my CentOS-7 environments (cluster, Docker Image, Open Build Service). I guess this problem is local to your machine.

I am closing this ticket but feel free to reopen it.
