Mendeley crashes with qt-4.8: $ mendeleydesktop Forcing system Qt Running /opt/mendeleydesktop/bin/..//lib64/mendeleydesktop/libexec/mendeleydesktop.x86_64 QSharedPointer: pointer 0x1def710 already has reference counting unfortunately the bundled qt lib is removed by the ebuild. can you let mendeley use the bundled qt for qt => 4.8? that works.
The problem is fixed in >=mendeley-1.5-dev2, so probably just a version bump would help... http://support.mendeley.com/customer/portal/questions/207172-problem-starting-mendeley-1-3-2-ubuntu-11-1- http://support.mendeley.com/customer/portal/questions/112106-mendeley-desktop-won-t-work-with-qt-4-8
Hello, I don't want to implement a qt-bundled USE flag, I think it is not worth it. I also don't think making a ebuild for beta versions is a good idea either. For now I'm more concerned about getting the ebuild stabilized. Anyway, thanks for reporting. I would make a local version bump as suggested in comment #1
whats the point in stablizing a non-working ebuild? thats not useful at all.
(In reply to comment #3) > whats the point in stablizing a non-working ebuild? thats not useful at all. It works with the *stable* qt in the portage tree. I'm sorry but I'm not going to add a development version of mendeley to portage just because you are running unstable. Now if you don't mind, please keep the bug quiet unless you have a proper solution.
Created attachment 308409 [details] A modified ebuild using the bundled Qt libs for those living on ~arch This is a modified version of the current ebuild that uses the bundled Qt libs, for those of us using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~arch". Put it into your local overlay, run "ebuild mendeleydesktop-1.3.2-r1.ebuild digest" and then "emerge mendeleydesktop". Works fine for me on ~amd64.

Just added mendeleydesktop 1.5.1 to the tree (give it some time to propagate to the mirrors), can you please test if works with qt-4.8? Thanks.
