Electrum 4.0.2 new version: issue after installing it.
Hi everybody!
I could successfully compile and run the slackbuilds.org Electrum version 3.3.8. Today, I've tried to upgrade to the last available version 4.0.2 not yet on slackbuilds.org. I could successfully compile and install the new 4.0.2 version, but I can only succesfully run it launching the ./run_electrum script from the source directory: Code:
fourstrings@darkstar:/tmp/SBo/Electrum-4.0.2$ ./run_electrum Code:
fourstrings@darkstar:~$ /usr/bin/electrum Code:
fourstrings@darkstar:/tmp/SBo/Electrum-4.0.2$ diff run_electrum /usr/bin/electrum Despite that I get the same error message! It isn't a big problem since I can use the new version from the source directory, but my question is: "could that issue be solved easily?". |
from the error I guess it needs an additional python3 module, bitstring, that is not yet on SlackBuilds.org: most probably the electrum maintainer will submit a script for it whenever he will update electrum to the new version.
you could also install it using pip3 but it will be surely better to use a SlackBuild and make a package for it: you can ping the electrum maintainer and ask if he feel it's ok to update it (check if everything that depends on it is compatible with the new version, etc.). |
Thank you ponce for your answer. :)
I will try to download and install pip3 and to contact the slackbuilds.org electrum maintainer, as well! :thumbsup: EDIT: Quote:
I've just downloaded and compiled the bitstring module with a simple: Code:
python3 setup.py install --root=$PKG So, the final conclusion is that "bitstring" is the only missing dependency for the last version of electrum! |
If installilng untracked packages are a concern then you could try the Appimage that is also offered on the website in the Electrum download section. It is self contained and does not need installation.

I wanted to know how to solve the issue from compiling the sources and, as I wrote editing my previous post, installing "bitstring" works! ;) |
