Call location:

thus i realized that Utility and Administrative folders were locked by root
so i
sudo chmod 777 /Applications/houdini…/Utility , same for admin folders
then
relaunch Houdini Apprentice, then pop up the Apprentice licensing
after licensing , houdini run ok , even with the error message in the console

hope it ll help

The error looks like either
-qt doesnt exist on your system : if u are on ubuntu as u suggested, try to instll qt4 with the apt-get command (google a bit if not familiar with it). Before that u can use the command apt-cache i think to list available packges for ur system.

- If it is installed but not in your path, add it in your path as suggested by the error.
export PATH=your-path:$PATH

Those 2 options are only available in the congigure.py of pyqt not the one from sip. Check again the above code
