Re: Next round on frescobaldi dependencies

[bb]

I think you cannot install different versions of frescobaldi or parallel from different sources. You might simply remove the repository version, try again and see what happens.

Concerning the description on http://www.frescobaldi.org/download.html
there are some errors for frescobaldi 3.0.0, the dependency list is incomplete and versions are wrongly noted
one needs Python3-Poppler-Qt5, for me Python-Poppler-Qt5 did not work
for some reason I argue python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit is neded, that is not on the list
may be more issues?

Try to install the dependencies with
sudo apt install git python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qtsvg python3-poppler-qt5 python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit
see

Happy new year with frescobaldi running. hopefully

Hi all,

I must add some more confusion to this issue.

I just had the opportunity to install a new OS from scratch and did (exactly) the following:

• Install Ubuntu MATE 17.10 from DVD
• sudo apt update
• sudo apt upgrade
• sudo apt install etckepper (definitely not related to all of this, but just for sake of completeness)
• sudo apt install frescobaldi

This gave me a *working* installation of Frescobaldi, including LilyPond 2.18.2 and both the PDF and the SVG viewer working properly

After making the frescobaldi and python-ly Git repositories available (and installing Git itself) I could invoke frescobaldi directly wtih
PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/path/to/python-ly python3 /path/to/frescobaldi

which gave me a working "development" version of Frescobaldi.

I haven't yet figured out how to add a menu entry for the Git installation (it seems the package manager installation "shadows" the other one), but I have to state that I *did* successfully install Frescobaldi 3 on a clean Ubuntu 17.10 installation without *any* dependency problems.

Hello Urs and all,

Following your excellent instructions on the dependenicies, always difficult to work out, especially when detail is missing, I am immediately presented with the same old core dump on startup, as per usual. I am using Ubuntu 17.10, kernel 4.13.0-21-generic (not that the kernel would make a difference!).

Clearly there are deeper dependencies and issues at play here. I would not have imagined a python program could be so troublesome, and so difficult to understand and fix. I guess it is due to the complexity of the Qt ecosystem world.

I remain stuck on Mint 18 for F&L at the moment therefore. Annoying, as all my other work is on Ubuntu 17.
