You probably have two versions of sip installed on your computer.
Make sure that all of the SIP variables in your cmake cache are
pointing to the version of sip that you want to use.

Also, why are you building everything in /tmp instead of in a more
permanent location?  On many Linux/UNIX systems (including OS X)
the contents of /tmp are erased whenever the computer reboots.
