I had eric-3.7.2-r1 installed and it was working fine. Then today it segfaulted. I had recently updated some packages (sip, qt), so I thought I should just re-emerge eric. I did so, but now I don't see any way to load it! There's nothing relevant in /usr/bin.

Just noticed this during the merge. Note that a segfault occurs, but Portage still reports the merge as complete. Any idea how to go about figuring out what's causing the segfault?

OK. The segfault is occurring on this line in install.py: from qt import qVersion, PYQT_VERSION Am re-emerging QT to see if this will fix anything...
Don't think it's qt itself. I'd guess that you updated Qt lately, so, please try to re-emerge PyQt.
Re-emerging PyQT worked, thanks.
