[Eric] Installing eric on an interl Mac running OS X10.4.1

[Mark Thomas]

Hi Phil

Thanks for advice. Did that and put line in .bash_profile

So changed to eric directory and then did:

python install.py 

It looked like everything was installing fine until I got the error:

Installing eric4 ...
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packag
es/sitecustomize.pyc'
Try install as root.


So I tried 'sudo python install.py', and got the old error message:

Sorry, please install QScintilla2 and
it's PyQt4 wrapper.
Error: 
dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-
packages/PyQt4/Qsci.so, 2): Library not loaded: libqscintilla2.2.dylib
  Referenced from: 
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-package
s/PyQt4/Qsci.so
  Reason: image not found


This just doesn't make sense to me. It seems that if I start up python using
sudo it wont import ' Qsci ' from ' PyQt4', but it works fine if I don't use
sudo. Its now been 6 days that I have been trying to install Eric. First I
had problems installing QScintilla2, then PyQt4.

Any help gratefully received

Thanks

Try setting the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to the directory
containing the QScintilla library.
