From output.txt:

    PyQt directory is /usr/share/sip

That indicates you have the necessary sipconfig.py and pyqtconfig.py files 
installed.

Check /usr/share/sip for a qt/ subdirectory, and if it's there it should 
contain a large number of *.sip files, including qtmod.sip. If the sip files 
aren't there, you should be able to d/l the PyQt tarball from 
http://riverbancomputing.co.uk and just copy the *.sip files 
to /usr/share/sip (several subdirectories qt/, qtxml/, etc). It shouldn't be 
necessary to recompile sip or PyQt.

Either the *.sip files weren't installed, or they're located someplace else. 
configure.py doesn't search for these files - it relies on *config.py from 
sip and PyQt installs to find them.
