Description of problem: I installed Eric4 by EPEL. Firing up Eric4 from the gnome menu does not do anything. When launched from the command line, it throws a Python package import error for missing QtWebkit bindings. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): eric-4.4.3-1.el6.x86_64 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Eric4 from EPEL (yum install --enablerepo=epel eric) 2. Start Eric4 from the Gnome menu or the command line interface Actual results: Nothing happens (Gnome menu), Import error (CLI) Expected results: Eric GUI should start. Additional info: Same problem happens for other software relying on QtWebkit, such as spyderlib for example. Together with Eric4, these are 2 very good Python IDE for scientific computing not working in EL6.
Oh boo, el6's PyQt4 certainly does lack QtWebKit bindings. I'll look into if we can rectify this somehow.
