[Eric] confused about prerequisite packages

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hello,

if you are on a Win operating system, you must have Python installed (of the 
right kind). Thereafter you may install the PyQt4 installer from Riverbank, 
which includes everything needed.

On Linux you have to have Python and Qt installed. These are usually included 
in the distributions packet management. Even PyQt and QScintilla is usually 
included.

If you want to install everything from source, just get the Qt library package 
for your OS.
