I followed the instructions at https://github.com/pyqt/python-qt5/wiki/Compiling-PyQt5-on-Ubuntu-12.04 and get this error:

$ python configure.py --qmake ~/Qt5.3.1/5.3/gcc_64/bin/qmake --sip-incdir ../sip-4.16.5/siplib --verbose

Could someone help me here?

Thanks.

EDIT: I solved this by installing gcc-c++ with dnf, but now I get this error when running make: https://gist.github.com/TheInitializer/4edca67ee64bf7a86a850fe839985297

Anyone know what's going on?

Well, I kinda feel stupid.

PyQt5 has a dnf package.

I just ran sudo dnf install PyQt5 and it installed.
