Description Robert Penny 2011-04-09 01:31:05 UTC

The FreeCAD Report View window was showing an error in the import of PyQt4.

I searched for the error string and found it in draftGui.py.
--------------------
try:
        from PyQt4 import QtCore,QtGui,QtSvg    
except:
        FreeCAD.Console.PrintMessage("Error: Python-qt4 package must be installed on your system to use the Draft module.")
-------------------


On my system, the error was being thrown by the QtSvg part of the import.  I added an "svg" to dev-python/PyQt4 and rebuilt this package.  It seems to have stopped the error.  (I'm still learning how to drive FreeCAD, so I'm not clear what functionality wasn't working.)

However, the FreeCAD ebuild (media-gfx/freecad) could probably benefit from having the RDEPEND for PyQt4 include a use flag for svg, namely

RDEPEND="
...
   dev-python/PyQt4[svg]
...
"

Thanks!
