Summary	0000434: Error: "No module named SketcherGUI" (or TestSketcherApp)
Description	Running ./FreeCAD, app opens fine, and a all workbenches can be activated, but on attempting to select workbenches 'complete' or 'part design', a dialog with "No module named SketcherGUI" pops up.
Additional Information	compiled and made FreeCAD from trunk on Ubuntu 11.04 64bit (using compile.sh) attempted multiple times over a couple of days. Doesn't matter if 0.10 (from Ubuntu repostitory) is installed or not. I also tried copying the named folder from 0.10 into the 0.12 folder, with caused lots more errors. When run with command lines get two possible errors:- ./FreeCAD -t 0 FreeCAD 0.12, Libs: 0.12R4905 No module named TestSketcherApp [then exits back to command line] ./FreeCAD FreeCAD 0.12, Libs: 0.12R4905 No module named SketcherGui [then FreeCAD loads and runs as noted in description] On running the self tests from the Test framework workbench, TestApp.All fails with:- Error loading specified test: <type 'exceptions.ImportError'>, No module named TestSketcherApp TestSketcherApp fails with same error, *Workbench comes up with SketcherGUI popup (as above) Application was complied with the following script:- #compile.sh #from: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/free-cad/index.php?title=CompileOnUnix #NB: The default install directory is ~/FreeCAD read -p "make takes about 30mins..." sudo apt-get install build-essential python libcoin60-dev libsoqt4-dev \ libxerces-c2-dev libboost-dev libboost-date-time-dev libboost-filesystem-dev \ libboost-graph-dev libboost-iostreams-dev libboost-program-options-dev \ libboost-serialization-dev libboost-signals-dev libboost-regex-dev libboost-thread-dev \ libqt4-dev qt4-dev-tools python2.6-dev libopencascade-dev libsoqt4-dev \ libode-dev subversion cmake libeigen2-dev libsimage-dev python-qt4 \ libtool autotools-dev automake bison flex libf2c2-dev gfortran # checkout the latest source svn co https://free-cad.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/free-cad/trunk freecad # go to source dir cd freecad # build configuration cmake . # build FreeCAD make # test FreeCAD cd bin ./FreeCAD -t 0 # use FreeCAD ./FreeCAD read -p "Done - Please press ctl-c to stop execution..." exit

The Sketcher requires libeigen3-dev, which is available in Ubuntu 11.10 repository, or on the freecad-maintainers PPA. I suggest you install this dependency and try again. I'm going to add this to the wiki. Edit: done, check https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/free-cad/index.php?title=CompileOnUnix
