Hi list,

I'm trying to install eric4 on my mac -- it seems as if all of the  
dependencies install fine, but when I get to installing eric4, I  
can't this error:

Sorry, please install QScintilla2 and
it's PyQt4 wrapper.
Error: dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ 
python2.5/site-packages/PyQt4/Qsci.so, 2): Library not loaded:  
libqscintilla2.1.dylib
   Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/ 
lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyQt4/Qsci.so

I've installed the required packages in the suggested order (as  
listed in the README):
1. Install Qt4
I've installed qt-mac-opensource-src-4.2.3

2. Build and install sip
I've installed sip-4.5.2

3. Build and install QScintilla2
I've installed the file: QScintilla-1.72-gpl-2-snapshot-20070304.tar.gz
from: http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/Downloads/Snapshots/QScintilla2/

I'm assuming this is actually QScintilla2 even though the filename  
says it's 1.72 (?)

4. Build and install PyQt4
I've installed PyQt-mac-gpl-4.1.1
Running a Python shell and running "import PyQt4" works.

5. Build and install QScintilla2 Python bindings
Done

6. Install eric4
I run "sudo python2.5 install.py" in the eric snapshot directory and  
get the above mentioned error.

I've been very careful to ensure that in all of the previous installs  
I've used the python2.5 intepreter when necessary (for instance,  
running the configure.py files on the various scintilla and qt stuffs).

I even see the "libqscintilla2.1.dylib" in the Trolltech QT4  
directory (/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.2.3/lib).

Anybody have any thoughts?

(I'm on an intel mac, btw, and am using the Python2.5 that you can d/ 
l from python.org)

Thanks,
-steve
