Spyder 2.1.1 with the Enthought Python Distribution

[Michael Anselmi]

Hello,

I am trying to use Spyder (version 2.1.1) in conjunction with the Enthought Python Distribution (version 7.1-2) on an Ubuntu 11.10 system, and am having some trouble.

EPD's python binary comes before the system's python binary in $PATH, which is what I want.  I run `python setup.py install' in the spyder source directory, and see that spyder is installed in the correct location.  However when running `spyder' from the command line, I receive the following error message:

Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x40704) with this library (version 0x40703)
Aborted

Is there any way to work around this?

Regards,
Mike

Hi,

That's probably a conflict between PySide and PyQt.

Would you please try to set the 'QT_API' environment variable to
'pyqt' or to 'pyside' to see what happens?

HTH,
Pierre

Hi,

Thanks for replying. I tried setting `QT_API' to both values, and
neither worked.

$ export QT_API=pyqt
$ echo $QT_API
pyqt
$ spyder

Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x40704) with this library
(version 0x40703)
Aborted

$ export QT_API=pyside
$ echo $QT_API
pyside
$ spyder

Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x40704) with this library
(version 0x40703)
Aborted
