I get segmentation fault error while trying to launch eric python IDE. I tried reinstalling a lot of times but with no use. I even tried using a different version but gives the same error. I am only installing it through rpms.
here is the stacktrace. Please help me.

(I also tried chmod to make it executable since the gdb said it is not in executable format.)
I am also getting a segmentation fault when launching eric, and using the -nokde option doesn’t work.
All this is in opensuse 11.1 (64 bits), kde 4.3.3 (factory) and python 2.6.
I also wanted to install a python package (spyderlib) and got the same result. I tried installing another package, pyephem, and DID work.
The interesting thing is that Spyder has some common requirements with Eric:
PyQt4 4.x (x>=3 ; recommended x>=4)
QScintilla2 2.x (x>=1) (PyQt4 extension)
I’ll check if reinstalling PyQt4 or Qscintilla does the trick.
Reinstalling PyQt and Qscintilla had no effect, I still get the segmentation fault, but the possible correlation with the dependencies of Spyder (aka spyderlib) is interesting.
I don’t know if this will be relevant for the problem, but I just tried to install (first time in my computer) koffice 2, which requires Qt.
I did it with yast, no errors where shown. But… despite I have the executable files, they never made it to the kde menu, and when I try to run them from the console, nothing happens. No error, no nothing. Just a new line to type in.
They fixed it (if it’s exactly the same cause) installing
python-qscintilla2 from an experimental repository.
Which version do you have? I have 2.3.2.17.
