I installed the latest version of qt in order to install eric6. Another dependency is pyqt.

When I run python configure.py I get the following error: 

qmake: could not exec '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake': No such file or directory
Error: PyQt5 requires Qt v5.0 or later. You seem to be using v3. Use the --qmake flag to specify the correct version of qmake.'

How can I solve this?

  • How exactly did you install Qt? is package qt5-qmake installed? – steeldriver Jan 24 '17 at 20:43
  • I installed Qt via their .run online install script. I just installed qt5-qmake with apt but 4.7 is still the default. How do I use the --qmake flag to specify which version is to be used? I can't seem to get the formatting right. – Sage Ambroski Jan 25 '17 at 01:28
  • Based on the Building and Installing from Source it looks like you'd run something like python configure.py --qmake=/path/to/qt5/bin/qmake. Or you could try either setting a QT_SELECT shell variable; or running the qtchooser command if one is installed. – steeldriver Jan 25 '17 at 02:19
