[Eric] Eric4 QT configuration

[Claude Cherton]

Dear Pietro Moras,

I thank you for your help. I'm sorry for my late answer: U was abroad for two weeks.

Q1) Eric version along with used other software are as follows:
Python
2.6.7
Qt
4.7.3
PyQt
4.8.4
sip
4.12.2
QScintilla
2.4.6
eric4
4.4.8 (r3828)

Q2) I just followed instructions of tutorial at <http://eric-ide.python-projects.org/tutorials/MiniBrowser/index.html>
Everything goes fine up to the moment I ask to create the main window: after closing dialog asking me its name and where to save it, Qt designer didn't open.

However, from that time, I have make some progress.

1) At terminal, launching Eric4, I notice it didn't find designerqt4. In fact, looking in my "/Developer/Applications/Qt/" directory, I found designer was named "Qt designer". I just change its name and the above error was fixed.

2) After that, I made the main window in Qt, save it and came back to eric. Trying to compile the form, I got a message that "pyuic4" was not available. I copy it to an accessible path and it was also fixed.

I have not yet been further.

However, it remains three warning messages at the terminal when launching eric4:

Warning: translation file 'qt_en_US'could not be loaded.
Using default.
Warning: translation file 'eric4_en_US'could not be loaded.
Using default.
Warning: translation file 'qscintilla_en_US'could not be loaded.
Using default.

I did try to find those files on my disk or something sililar in concerned directories: I didn't find anything. I hope not to have trouble later!

I am sorry to have been so long: I didn't find any shorter way to say all that.

Regards,

C.C.
