Designer not working in eric

[Tony Arnold]

I'm trying to use qt6-designer from within the eric-ide. I have both
qt6-tools and qt6-applications packages installed in the eric-ide venv,
but when I double click on a .ui file (or right click and try to open
with qt-designer) nothing happens. Also nothing happens if I try to
open a .ui file in the editor.

If I activate the eric-ide venv and run qt6-tools designer, I get the
following:

(eric-ide) tony at circus:~$ qt6-tools designer
/home/tony/.virtualenvs/eric-ide/lib/python3.12/site-
packages/qt6_applications/Qt/bin/designer: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu/libQt6Core.so.6: version `Qt_6.5' not found (required by
/home/tony/.virtualenvs/eric-ide/lib/python3.12/site-
packages/qt6_applications/Qt/bin/designer)
/home/tony/.virtualenvs/eric-ide/lib/python3.12/site-
packages/qt6_applications/Qt/bin/designer: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu/libQt6Core.so.6: version `Qt_6.5' not found (required by
/home/tony/.virtualenvs/eric-ide/lib/python3.12/site-
packages/qt6_applications/Qt/bin/../lib/libQt6DesignerComponents.so.6)
/home/tony/.virtualenvs/eric-ide/lib/python3.12/site-
packages/qt6_applications/Qt/bin/designer: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-

/home/tony/.virtualenvs/eric-ide/lib/python3.12/site-
packages/qt6_applications/Qt/bin/../lib/libQt6Designer.so.6)

Which makes sense as I don't have Qt 6.5 installed. I have Qt 6.8.x

Is there a way to get designer to work with 6.8.x, or even 6.9? I can't
find such a version on PyPi.

Regards,
Tony.
