This simply means, that QtWebKit is not installed or failed to load. The eric install does an 
'from PyQt4 import QtWebKit'. Please try this in a console. If it fails please check, if such a 
library is installed on your system.

That is not quite right. The release note says, that it includes experimental support for Qt5, i.e. 
PyQt4 compiled against Qt5. eric does not run with PyQt5. However, you may use eric to 
develop PyQt5 programs (if you use the development version of eric).
