[SOLVED] QyPt Installation

mauripeta · 09-26-2012, 01:45 PM

Hi guys, my name is Mauricio and well, I think I'm in troubles.
Here I go:

I'm trying to install PyQt on my Ubuntu 12.04 and when I'm running the "sudo make install" part everything goes well until this promt appears:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqpycore
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [QtCore.so] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mauricio/PyQt-x11-gpl-4.9.4/QtCore'
make: *** [install] Error 2
mauricio@pirincho:~/PyQt-x11-gpl-4.9.4$

Can you help me please?

Hi, welcome to LQ!

Have you considered something like
aptitude install python2.7-qt4
?

[edit]
If that's not the python/qt versions you're after,
try an aptitude search qt| grep -i python
[/edit]

Or do you have specific reasons to compile from source?

Cheers,
Tink

Hello, Tinkster, thanks for your answer

I've tried: sudo aptitude install python2.7-qt4

and the answer was: No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.

I'm really confussed

Hope somebody will find the solution.

Best regards!!

I think that was not the whole output of that command, you either get the message that the package you want to install can not be found or that it is already installed. Try it again and post the complete output.

The complete output was:

No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.

Best regards!

That is weird, the package manager should mention if it is already installed or can not be found. In your case I would simply assume that it is already on your system.

How about : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python2.7-qt4

If your setup is OK, the package will be installed or reinstalled.

the output was:

Note, selecting 'python-qt4' instead of 'python2.7-qt4'
python-qt4 is already the newest version.
python-qt4 set to manually installed.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 36 not upgraded.

This means that the package is already installed?

You are right, the package name is python-qt4
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/python-qt4

Providing all this ...
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/i...n-qt4/filelist

And yes, the package is already installed.
