The problem is not related to eric3 as eric3 does not do any special path 
resolving. It relies purely on the Python mechanisms. As Hans-Peter as 
indicated it is a problem related to SuSE 8.1. Simply recompiling the 
python files by performing the following steps.

cd /usr/lib/python2.2
python compileall.py -f .

or use Hans-Peters script.
