Unfortunately I don't know much of Mac OSX, so it'll be hard for me to help... There should be something on the forum about installing pyqt4 and pivy on mac, but I cannot find it back, I'll see if I can find the info for you. But I should definitely do something so the Draft module doesn't load at all if any of the needed module is not present, so I'll keep this report open until I do that. Yorik

gu1do 2010-10-05 13:08 reporter ~0000349	Hi Yorik, I already have PyQt4 installed with macports, and it's on my Python path: $ python Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep 18 2010, 13:51:33) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import PyQt4 >>> PyQt4.__path__ ['/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/PyQt4']

yorik 2010-10-08 00:41 administrator ~0000354	That's weird, Can you check if doing "import PyQt4" from the FreeCAD python interpreter (menu view->views->python console) works? It really looks like the pyqt4 module was not loaded (which is why the icons are not loaded)...

unauthenticated 2010-10-08 13:03 viewer ~0000356	Hi Yorik, Output from FreeCAD Python shell: Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep 18 2010, 13:51:33) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664)] on darwin Type 'help', 'copyright', 'credits' or 'license' for more information. >>> import PyQt4 >>> PyQt4.__path__ ['/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/PyQt4'] >>> I'm happy to help debug. What should I do?

yorik 2010-10-09 13:26 administrator ~0000358	That's really crazy... The error message you get on the first line really appears only if the module wasn't imported successfully... And doing this works too? from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore

unauthenticated 2010-10-11 20:56 viewer ~0000365	Thanks Yorik, I should have tried that originally: >>> from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore Traceback (most recent call last): File "<input>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: dlopen(/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/PyQt4/QtGui.so, 2): no suitable image found.

yorik 2010-10-11 22:44 administrator ~0000366	Hm I don't know much about mac, it'll be hard for me to help... On linux, "wrong architecture" usually means you are using a 32bits library on a 64bits system or vice-versa. But I suppose macports should handle that automatically? Anyway, the draft module of freecad makes extensive use of pyqt4. So you really need a working pyqt4 to use it (you can always disable the draft module by deleting/moving away its folder) Sorry I can't help you more, probably looking around for tips on installing pyqt4 you might find some clues. Maybe would be worth reinstalling all qt and pyqt?

yorik 2010-11-15 15:53 administrator ~0000423	I'll close this bug report because there is not much that can be done on the freecad side, but don't hesitate to reopen it if needed.
