2.try to open the designer "Extra-Tools->"Designer 3..ยง
3.
Actual Results:  
it gives this error. 

Expected Results:  
This should be patched so eric uses Qt4 designer

Comment 1 Kevin Kofler 2009-09-18 18:34:16 UTC
As I wrote on IRC, it should be fixed to use the -qt4 suffixed tools.

Comment 2 Johan Cwiklinski 2009-09-18 18:50:22 UTC
Indeed, configuring eric to use "-qt4" suffix fix the issue.

I do not yet know wich file in the sources should be patched to achieve that. If someone knows that, he'll be welcome :)

Comment 5 Johan Cwiklinski 2009-09-18 21:39:42 UTC
eric-4.3.7.1-2 will put the -qt4 suffix by default, on fresh installs. If Eric has already been started, then you have a local user config file.
In that case, you should either delete local users config files for eric, or set manually the relevant suffix in the preferences window.

Comment 6 Fabian 2009-09-19 17:48:11 UTC
ok, I changed line 125,128 and line 132 my config file for the Qt part looks now like this:

[Qt]
DisableQt3=1
QtDir=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3
ExportQtDir=0
Qt4Dir=/usr/lib64/qt4
Qt4TranslationsDir=
QtToolsPrefix3=
QtToolsPostfix3=
QtToolsPrefix4=/usr/lib64/qt4/bin/
QtToolsPostfix4=

is this correct? Or should I change something else too?
