Installing PyQt after installing QScintilla does not enable building of PyQt with QScintilla support. This is required for some programs like eric3 the great gpl python ide.
I think the problem is that the qscintilla ebuild doesn't make a symbolic link from libqscintilla.so.0 to libscintilla.so (at least, I made that link myself and PyQt compiled with qscintilla support successfully). In my case, the error I was seeing with PyQT was the following: /usr/qt/3/lib contains the QScintilla library. ****************************************************************************** g++ -c -pipe -w -O2 -D_REENTRANT -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -I. -I/usr/include/python2.2 -I/usr/qt/3/include -I/usr/qt/3/mkspecs/linux-g++ -o qttest.o qttest.cpp g++ -o qttest qttest.o -Wl,-rpath,/usr/qt/3/lib -L/usr/qt/3/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/qt/3/lib -lqscintilla -lqt-mt -lpthread -lXext -lX11 -lm /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lqscintilla collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [qttest] Error 1 ****************************************************************************** The qtext module will not be built.
which version of pyqt and qscintilla? here it worked without any manual "retouch" try remerging qscintilla
see Comment #2, is this still relevant?
No idea I gave up on the whole thing afer it didn't work. Maybe I will try again when I have some free time? who knows : ) Wait.. I know I'll try again soon.
