[SOLVED] Eric4 and Eric not working.

After updates today I can't open Eric or Eric4. The error I get relates to a missing module from PyQt QtHelp. I've tried to grab the package with pip and also manually download the tar and install it but neither works. I have a bug report open in eric4 about this but was wondering if anyone had come across it before or managed to fix it.

This is the error outputted when it fails:-

Warning: translation file 'qt_en_GB'could not be loaded.
Using default.
Warning: translation file 'eric5_en_GB'could not be loaded.
Using default.
Warning: translation file 'qscintilla_en_GB'could not be loaded.
Using default.
An unhandled exception occurred. Please report the problem
using the error reporting dialog or via email to <eric5-bugs@eric-ide.python-projects.org>.
A log has been written to "/home/jsanders/.eric5/eric5_error.log".

Yes, I see exactly the same issues, even after a couple of PyQt4 updates came in overnight. Affects both Eric and Eric4 for me (on x86_64).

Re: [SOLVED] Eric4 and Eric not working.

Do you have pyqt 4.9-2?

Re: [SOLVED] Eric4 and Eric not working.

You need both pyqt 4.9-2 and python-qscintilla 2.6-2 to fix them.

Re: [SOLVED] Eric4 and Eric not working.

Problem NOT solved for me. [SOLVED] now!

I have just installed eric4; when I try to start it, it gives me "Segmentation fault".
I have:

# pacman -Qi pyqt
Name           : pyqt
Version        : 4.9-2
...

# pacman -Qi python-qscintilla
Name           : python-qscintilla
Version        : 2.6-2
...

After a full system update (pacman -Syu) eric4 works!
Now I'll have to find out HOW it works...

Re: [SOLVED] Eric4 and Eric not working.

Works for me on 32-bit.

It's enough if you run 'pacman -Q foo'  - not 'pacman -Qi foo' - to get the version number.
