qtvcp issues

You are right but I did do a make clean before compiling again.

It could be a system issue system issue because I get the same result from 3 different linuxcnc installations that have qtvcp.

Is this work pushed to your repo - so i could test?

I just recompiled on my system with no apparent problems running qtvcp or designer.

I did more checking and recall that I had a similar isue like this in the past relating to the links from:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/designer/python/qtvcp_plugin.py

I checked the link it it followed back to the correct file in:

/home/cnc/qtvcp-dev/lib/python/qtvcp/plugins/qtvcp_plugin.py

However that file is not executing. If I start designer -qt=5 without . ./scripts/rip-environment in /home/cnc/qtvcp-dev/ I get:

cnc@cnc-OptiPlex-9020 ~/qtvcp-dev $ designer -qt=5
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/designer/python/qtvcp_plugin.py", line 22, in <module>
from qtvcp.plugins.simplewidgets_plugin import *
ImportError: No module named 'qtvcp'
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
cnc@cnc-OptiPlex-9020 ~/qtvcp-dev $ . ./scripts/rip-environment

So this is perhaps a privilege issue?

If you don't use ./scripts/rip-environment, it's expected that qtvcp wouldn't be found.
That is what the script is for.

Does the screen it's self run?

By screen I mean linuxcnc

Yes linuxcnc runs fine with the 1xMill gui as normal. it seems to me from my test that after commenting out: from qtvcp.plugins.simplewidgets_plugin import * in qtvcp_plugin.py and it pick up the led file as the first one that I get the same error with it. So its finding the files it needs but does not like everything it runs into.

I will have to leave resolving this problem until tomorrow morning.

Internet says it may be due to a python version issue
