Eric Python IDE will not start in PCLinuxOS 2010 KDE

[nymark1]

I have installed Eric using Synaptic.
It creates a shortcut in the main menu: More Applications > Development > Eric Python IDE.
When I click it I see an icon jumping up and down in the panel, but it quickly disappears again, and the  program never starts.

You could try running it from a Konsole?  (I don't have it installed so can't test for you  )

In a terminal (konsole), enter

Code: [Select]

eric4This will start eric and / or give you an error message. Post the message here.
