Error: Make sure you have a working sip on your PATH or use the --sip argument to explicitly specify a working sip

you need to install sip first (not just configure it)

begueradj@begueradj:~/Bureau/sip-4.16.7# python configure.py 
begueradj@begueradj:~/Bureau/sip-4.16.7# make
begueradj@begueradj:~/Bureau/sip-4.16.7# make install

and next you can install PyQt :

begueradj@begueradj:~/Bureau/PyQt-gpl-5.4.1# python configure-ng.py

or

begueradj@begueradj:~/Bureau/PyQt-gpl-5.4.1# python configure-ng.py --sip /usr/bin/sip
