[Eric] Eric crashes on linux

[Joe Pimentel]

Regarding this problem I can confirm that, even having compiling
dependences from sources, eric4 versions back to 4.2.0 still crashes
with the same message.
eric4 version 4.1.6 works starts ok.
All versions downloaded from sourceforge site.
Anything else I can do to help with this problem?
