pyqt5 error charset.alias file missing
by zentara from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4Y3Z1)
Hi, I'm running Slackware64 current and have tried to install pyqt5 from the source file. It all builds fine, but when I try to run the examples/qtdemo I get a fail with this message:
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-zentara'
(process:14633): GLib-CRITICAL **: 16:16:54.629: g_hash_table_contains: assertion 'hash_table != NULL' failed
(process:14633): GLib-CRITICAL **: 16:16:54.630: g_hash_table_insert_internal: assertion 'hash_table != NULL' failed
Segmentation fault
When I run the program thru strace, this is what the error says:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "lib64/charset.alias", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
write(2, "\n(process:11245): GLib-\33[1;35mCR"..., 131
(process:11245): GLib-CRITICAL **: 15:59:21.579: g_hash_table_contains: assertion 'hash_table != NULL' failed
I havn't been able to locate a charset.alias file in any slackware package. I installed a generic charset.alias from the net, and the error persists.
I have seen this error mentioned in google searches but none recent except for a guy on Arch who had the same problem. No solution there.
Anyone have a clue?
