[SOLVED] package eric is broken

smaniam · 2010-09-10 19:34:16

Hi

On upgrading eric and python-scintilla2. I am unable to start eric. Looks like python-scintilla is broken (unknown symbol sciLexerSpice10braceStyleEv in Qsci.so)

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/eric4/eric4.py", line 60, in <module>
from KdeQt.KQApplication import KQApplication
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/eric4/KdeQt/__init__.py", line 20, in <module>
import Preferences
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/eric4/Preferences/__init__.py", line 25, in <module>
from PyQt4 import Qsci
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/PyQt4/Qsci.so: undefined symbol: _ZNK14QsciLexerSpice10braceStyleEv

Can someone please suggest me a fix?

Thanks
SS

Your system is update? I installed eric to test, and its open ok for me

Pacman installed the following

extra/eric-4.4.5-1
extra/python-qscintilla-2.4.4-2
extra/qscintilla-2.4.4-2

TIP: When asking for help try to post all the information relevant to the problem, i.e. in this case the version of the package is a must.

Thanks Kazuo, Problem solved.

The problem was qscintilla was not up to date. The dependency for python-qscintilla-2.4.4.2 needs to be updated to fetch qscintilla-2.4.4.2 or others would also face similar problem.

Thanks for the check.

You didn't clarify whether your repo wasn't synced properly or whether you abused pacman (ie installing packages without syncing your database first). Your solution might help others, so please be so kind as to post it and add [Solved] to your topic.

.:B:.
The repository was synced correctly but pacman neither reported nor upgrade the corresponding version of qscintilla (though it correctly upgraded the python-qscintilla for eric)

If anybody encounters this problem please upgrade qscintilla.

Enjoy

Hello!

I've just installed eric4 from extra with 'sudo pacman -S eric' in order to try eric (I've just heard about it and wanted to try it), but it doesn't work.

On startup, it prints:

$ eric
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/eric4/eric4.py", line 60, in <module>
    from KdeQt.KQApplication import KQApplication
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/eric4/KdeQt/__init__.py", line 20, in <module>
    import Preferences
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/eric4/Preferences/__init__.py", line 25, in <module>
    from PyQt4 import Qsci
RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v8.0 but the PyQt4.Qsci module requires API v8.1

I've googled for error "RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v8.0 but the PyQt4.Qsci module requires API v8.1", but found only solutions if PyQt4.Qsci requires older API than sip implements. Packages python, python-qscintilla and qscintilla are installed and up-to-date.

 extra/python 3.1.3-1 [installed]
 extra/python-qscintilla 2.4.6-1 [installed]
 extra/qscintilla 2.4.6-1 [installed]
 extra/eric 4.4.9-1 [installed]
 extra/eric-plugins 4.4.4a-3 [installed]

Does anyone know how to fix this?

OK, never mind. I've solved it. I just had to update sip and everything works now.

Stop doing -S(y) stuff, start doing -Syu stuff.
