[Eric] Re: Eric crashes on winxp

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi,

did you uninstall the Ubuntu packages before you installed the self compiled 
ones? If not, there could be some old libraries, that are picked up. After 
upgrading sip and PyQt4, you must upgrade and/or recompile the QScintilla 
Python bindings as well. Best would be to uninstall all these Ubuntu packages 
and do an install from sources in the order given by the eric4 README file.

Regards,
Detlev
