[Eric] Using PyQt snapshots, eric crashes when launched from the kde start menu

[Darren Dale]

Hello,

I have been trying to keep up with the sip/pyqt/qscintilla snapshots
(installed on up-to-date kubuntu jaunty prerelease). There have been a few
issues trying to run eric in this environment, but it looks like they have
been mostly addressed in subsequent snapshots from riverbank.

There is one issue I am seeing this morning with the latest snapshots that I
am not sure how to investigate. If I start eric from the command prompt, it
launches successfully. If I make an entry in the kde start menu and launch
eric from there, it crashes. I can choose "Run in terminal" as an option for
the menu entry, and the output is simply "Warning: Program
'/usr/local/bin/eric4' crashed." I thought I could get more information
about the crash if I edited the menu command to be "eric4 --debug", but when
I do so, eric doesnt crash! I get this debugging output during startup:

DEBUG:root:Importing packages...

Can anyone suggest a next step?

Thanks,
Darren
