In order to compile QGIS (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=619601) on EPEL, the PyQwt is needed. It currently only exists for EL6: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=7575 I tried to compile PyQwt-5.2.0-11.el6 myself using mock but I get ... g++ -c -pipe -fPIC -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -grecord-gcc-switches -m64 -mtune=generic -O2 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -DNDEBUG -DHAS_NUMPY -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_GUI_LIB -I. -I/usr/include/qwt -I/usr/include/python2.7 -I/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include -I/usr/lib64/qt4/mkspecs/default -I/usr/include/QtCore -I/usr/include/QtGui -I/usr/include/QtSvg -I/usr/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -o sipQwtQwtWheel.o sipQwtQwtWheel.cpp In file included from ../sip/qwt5qt4/QwtModule.sip:62:0, from sipQwtcmodule.cpp:7: ./qwt_numerical_interface.h:37:23: fatal error: qwt_array.h: No such file or directory #include <qwt_array.h> ^ compilation terminated.

i compiled qgis 2.8 without pyqwt
the compilation error above says: "pyqwt is not updated to qwt6".
(In reply to Jiri Kastner from comment #1) > i compiled qgis 2.8 without pyqwt Ah interesting! So I'll try to modify qgis' SPEC file since I need an RPM.
Hi markusN, I'm the maintainer of PyQwt in Fedora and EPEL6. I was approached with the same request by Dave Johansen 3 months ago when he tried to package QGIS. I found out that until a recent revival attempt (from ~3 months ago) (https://github.com/PyQwt), PyQwt was dead for a long time. Last release (v5.2.0) is from 2009. Its original author, Gerard Vermeulen, publicly discouraged its use and recommended PyQtGraph on the mailing list (http://sourceforge.net/p/pyqwt/mailman/message/30507558/). Another problem is that PyQwt has no support for Qwt6. Gerard attempted to write initial Qwt6 bindings but found the design of Qwt6 too complex (http://sourceforge.net/p/pyqwt/mailman/message/29802199/). I'm not familiar with QGIS so I briefly skimmed through its developer documentation and searched for Qwt/PyQwt. I found the following: "5.4.9. Additional dependencies: Qwt The GPS tracking feature uses Qwt. NOTE: PyQwt is not compatible with PyQt 4.9, so we will skip that. Download the latest Qwt 6.0 source (6.1 does not work with the QwtPolar in QGIS) from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qwt" (source: http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/doc/INSTALL.html#toc20) So, if I understand this correctly, QGIS uses Qwt 6.0, which is incompatible with PyQwt. Additionally, PyQwt is incompatible with PyQt 4.9. Dave sent an email to the QGIS mailing list: http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2014-December/036112.html, but haven't received a response. Based on the above, I think that the best solution at the moment is to remove the functionality that depends on PyQwt from QGIS.
As explained in comment #4, PyQwt is dead since 2009 and the recent revival attempt doesn't contain any new commits. Hence, I'm closing this bug as WONTFIX.
