qmake is not an executable

I am trying to install pyqt on OS X but getting 

configure.py: error: '/Users/Chris/Qt5.4/5.4/clang_64/bin/qmake'
is not an executable

I am following the instructions on a site which tells me to:

cd /var/tmp
cp /Users/gvincent/Downloads/PyQt-gpl-5.2.1.tar.gz .
cp /Users/gvincent/Downloads/sip-4.15.5.tar.gz .
tar xvf PyQt-gpl-5.2.1.tar.gz
tar xvf sip-4.15.5.tar.gz
cd sip-4.15.5/
python3 configure.py -d ~/.env/ariane_mail/lib/python3.4/site-packages --arch x86_64
make
sudo make install
sudo make clean
cd ../PyQt-gpl-5.2.1/
python3 configure.py --destdir ~/.env/ariane_mail/lib/python3.4/site-packages --qmake ~/Qt5.2.1/5.2.1/clang_64/bin/qmake
make
sudo make install
sudo make clean
~/.env/ariane_mail/bin/python -c "import PyQt5"**

The part that's giving me the error is the

python3 configure.py --destdir ~/.env/ariane_mail/lib/python3.4/site-packages --qmake ~/Qt5.2.1/5.2.1/clang_64/bin/qmake

If you have python 3 installed, you can simply install PyQT5 from the terminal using pip3 install PyQt5 --user.

Well, it says just what it says: qmake is not an executable. Check qmake's attributes and user permissions using ls, chmod and chown as usual.
