Hi all,<br><br>This may be unique to my setup, but maybe this will be of use to others, <br>so I'll share.<br>I found that Eric4 was baulking when I tried to open a file such as <br>"/home/neil/prog/my\ gui.py", whether via a launcher or from the command <br>line i.e. $eric4 /home/neil/prog/my\ gui.py<br><br>The problem was that the arguments got hashed up, and Eric assumed I was <br>to edit 2 files "/home/neil/prog/my" and "gui.py" , neither of which <br>exist of course.<br><br>Anyway, the problem was in the shell script /usr/local/bin/eric4<br>I changed the following line<br>exec "/usr/bin/python" "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/eric4/eric4.py" $*<br>to<br>exec "/usr/bin/python" "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/eric4/eric4.py" <br>"$*"<br><br>(quotes around $*)<br><br>Regards<br><br>Neil.<br><br><br><br /><hr />Messenger's gone Mobile! <a href='http://messengergonemobile.com' target='_new'>Get it now!</a></body>
