[SOLVED] gns3 message: Can't import Qt modules, PyQt is probably not installed

saavedra29 · 03-13-2012, 06:29 AM

Hello, I have gns3 installed from slackbuild and whenever i try to run it (either as root or user) i get the message:

Code:

Can't import Qt modules, PyQt is probably not installed

I have all the dependencies installed, also installed the PyQt4 from binary. Some days ago it was working fine without the PyQt4 (had some unimportant issues with the graphics).
Also the last days i installed Pygments, bpython and python3 (from slackbuid). Just to be sure i uninstalled them to get the system back to the point it was as i was suspecting them about this issue. Also i reinstalled the python2.6(from mirror) and the gns3(from slackbuild) just in case. But no lack..
Do you have any idea?

You have Python2.6 and 3.X installed. PyQt is probably only installed in one version and the program may be calling the other version. See what version /usr/bin/python and/or /usr/bin/local/python point to. Note that you also have to have Qt installed. PyQt is just a Python wrapper for Qt.

/usr/bin/python points to python2.6 and the folder /usr/bin/local does not exist. I have already uninstalled python3, bpython and Pygments.
installed packages:

Code:

PyQt-4.8.1-x86_64-1
python-2.6.6-x86_64-1
qt-4.7.0_7abde40-x86_64-3

Well PyQt is in the slackware mirror in l/. And it was uninstalled from my system, i don't know why. So i uninstalled the binary i had the last time and installed the one from the mirror and it works fine. Thanks!
