poppler with qt4 support enabled but; "Could not load the poplerqt4 module" about frescobaldi HOT 7 CLOSED

you need the python binding to poppler-qt4: python-poppler-qt4 (see INSTALL)

from frescobaldi.

Hi, wbsoft.
I have already read the INSTALL. But there is no poppler-qt4, since it is obsoleted in gentoo. For gentoo there is app-text/poppler[qt4] which must provide the poppler-qt4 bindings. But apparently it is not working for frescobaldi.
Gentoo ChangeLog says these for poppler-qt4 package: "Remove obsoleted versions. Use app-text/poppler[qt4] instead."
Is there anything I can do for frescobaldi to use the installed poppler? Because I tried to install poppler-qt4, but it conflicts with the app-text/poppler[qt4]. Any idea?
Thanks.

Indeed in Gentoo you should probably install poppler[qt4] which will also bring the qt4 interface to poppler.

But Frescobaldi also needs a python binding to poppler's Qt4 interface. And that package is the one you are missing.
It is mentioned in the INSTALL file and its url is http://python-poppler-qt4.googlecode.com/ . That package makes using Poppler's Qt4 interface possible from the Python language, which is the language Frescobaldi is written in. You should probably make a separate ebuild for that package and make Frescobaldi depend on it. Both "python-poppler-qt4" and "frescobaldi" are simple Distutils packages, it is probably not difficult to create an ebuild for that.

Thanks. Now I see. I am gonna create the ebuild for python-poppler-qt4. Then close this issue.

Great!

wbsoft, thanks for the help.
I have put both frescobaldi-2.0.3 and python-poppler-qt4 ebuilds to pro-audio overlay.
frescobaldi is really great. Everything works now.
