confirmed, looks like a typo.
Not exactly : I've used "print sys.version[:5]" to define python version, but on F7, it returns 2.5 and not 2.5.x, that's the error. I'll correct this and rebuild the package these evening, if no one has time before :)
Hrm... I'd feel a *lot* better of all those dirs were detected/generated at runtime dynamically, instead of hard-coded at buildtime.
Indeed, but I really don't know how to achieve this. If somebody have an idea...
These are easy: QT4DIR=`pkg-config --variable=prefix Qt` QT4DOCDIR=`pkg-config --variable=docdir Qt`/html Maybe this one is good/easy enough as-is: PYTHONDOCDIR=/usr/share/doc/python-docs-2.5/html qt(3) packaging doesn't have any easy way to extract this, so maybe leave as-is too: QTDOCDIR=/usr/share/doc/qt-devel-3.3.8/html
eric-3.9.5-3.fc7 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 7
eric-3.9.5-3.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
I am getting this error on eric-4.2.5-1.fc11 from rawhide on 2009.01.30. Has it regressed ? Was it fixed in 3.9.5-3 ? I will fix it by hand, edit /usr/bin/eric4
This is a *way* old report, please file a new bug for any new issues.
But the cause could very well be due to switch to python-2.6, very similar to the issue here. I'll try to look when I have chance, but having another bug opened against the latest version is still preferable.
