The problem is that most likely your 'sudo' environment does not have the sip module in its path. I bet if you do:

$ sudo bash
# ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install --install-space /opt/ros/groovy

That is would work. Another solution would be to create the /opt/ros folder and then make it user writable therefore you will not have to use sudo every time:

$ sudo mkdir -p /opt/ros
$ sudo chmod a+w /opt/ros
$ ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install --install-space /opt/ros/groovy

But honestly why install it to /opt/ros/groovy? Why not ~/groovy?
