Installing Frescobaldi remains one of the singularly frustrating interludes of my computing life. I cannot figure out how anyone gets a damned thing done using Linux/BSD with all the asinine dependency issues, even with package managers. Installing any piece of software is a voyage of the damned rather than a simple download and double-click to launch. Despite installing Python, QT4, a bunch of dependencies that don't even make sense, and every other doggone item on the list of things to install and configure, Frescobaldi still cannot connect to Poppler so that I can conveniently see the rendered PDF file. The crux of the matter finally seems to be the unholy alliance that is SIP: [tim ~/Desktop/Downloads/python-poppler-qt4-0.16.3]$ python setup.py build running build running build_ext building 'popplerqt4' extension /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/sip -I /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/share/sip -t POPPLER_V0_20_0 -c build/temp.macosx-10.6-intel-2.7 -b build/temp.macosx-10.6-intel-2.7/poppler-qt4.sbf -I /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/share/sip/PyQt4 -x VendorID -t WS_MACX -x PyQt_NoPrintRangeBug -t Qt_4_8_0 -x Py_v3 -g poppler-qt4.sip sip: Deprecation warning: poppler-qt4.sip:1: %Module version number should be specified using the 'version' argument sip: Unable to find file "QtCore/QtCoremod.sip" error: command '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/sip' failed with exit status 1 Anyone got a recommendation to fix this? It would be greatly appreciated. Tim _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
