Hello,

try this command in a Python3 shell.

import PyQt4.QtHelp

If you get an ImportError it means, that the QtHelp package is having an 
issue. That is not an eric5 fault. Make sure you have compatible versions of 
Qt4 and PyQt4 installed (best through the package manager of your distro.

Sorry I had misunderstood your last response. The package manager says all is installed. I have also install Qt4,  QScintilla-gpl-2.6 and PyQt4 from online, compiled and installed them. Also Sip and one or two other packages but still, no go. Have eric4 installed from the package manager, it is an earlier release. But eric5 won't work or install with 2.7, so I'm left with the puzzle of getting eric5 installed? My release of Linus, Ubuntu, doesn't offer eric5 as an option in package manager. 

Thanks
Ken
