hi backi ....

use the ppm to install these and their dependencies

python-qt4
python-sip
python-setuptools
python-pip
libqt4-webkit
you will probably need the devx installed as well

to install electrum, open a terminal and type

Code: Select all

pip install https://download.electrum.org/Electrum-1.9.7.tar.gz#md5=5764f38d6e4bc287a577c8d16e797882

to run

Code: Select all

electrum

I have built the packages for Electrum and it's dependencies for Carolina, it seems to work, though I wouldn't have clue what to do with it, maybe someone would like to try it out and let me know if it's working as it should.

if you have Carolina you will find it in the repo.

Hi geoffrey !

Would be nice if you could give me the link for that app ....

Thanks !

If you are planning to use Electrum in any pup other than Carolina it may not work.

Carolina packages are different to others in someways, here's a list of the dependencies I used.

Python-2.7.2-i486.pet

PyQt-4.9.4.pet

qt-4.8.0.pet

qt-webkit-4.8.0.pet

sip-4.13.3.pet

ecdsa-0.10.pet

slowaes-0.1a1.pet

Electrum-1.9.7.pet

If you want to try Electrum in precise then get the compatible packages, I packaged Electrum, PyQt, ecdsa, slowaes for Python 2.7 and the Carolina QT packages may not work for you,

I haven't linked them, but you can get them here http://smokey01.com/carolina/pet_packages-carolina/ or just install Carolina or Carolite and do an install from the PPM

Maybe someone will build the packages needed for Precise, I don't use it so I would be starting from scratch and I don't have the time.

Good luck

I downloaded and installed more that 20 packages on tahrpup, but can't install electrum. Is there a bundled package somewhere?

[666philb]

hi jss83

electrum is in tahrpups PPM
it also needs python-sip (type it into the find box)

it worked for me then .... if it's still not working for you run it in a terminal

Code: Select all

electrum

and post output here

[jss83]

I installed it from ppm itself, here's what I get when I enter electrum in terminal:

Code: Select all

# electrum
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/electrum", line 175, in <module>
    gui = gui.ElectrumGui(config, network)

    from PyQt4.QtWebKit import QWebView
ImportError: libQtWebKit.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[666philb]

grab libqtwebkit from the PPM

tahrpup thinks it's already installed when it actually isn't, that was supposed to be fixed with the service pack .... but maybe didn't take properly

[jss83]

In ppm it is showing green tick, already installed?

[666philb]

ignore the tick and click on it to install

[jss83]

Did that when the install completed it gave this message:

File /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libQtWebKit.so.4.10.2 has these missing library files:
libgstapp-1.0.so.0 libgstpbutils-1.0.so.0 libgstvideo-1.0.so.0 libgstaudio-1.0.so.0 libgstbase-1.0.so.0 libgstreamer-1.0.so.0


Tried to run electrum in terminal:

Code: Select all

# electrum
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/electrum", line 175, in <module>
    gui = gui.ElectrumGui(config, network)

    from PyQt4.QtWebKit import QWebView
ImportError: libgstapp-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[666philb]

ok this should be the last thing
in the find box....
gstreamer1.0-x

[jss83]

gstreamer1.0-x

This worked

You sir are a genius! Thank you so much,

Hi. I was trying to install electrum 3.05 as it is advised because older versions have dangerous bug.
I have installed python 3.6.4 from source.
Have pip 9.1 and python3tools in place.
Only pyqt5 is a problem. No version error.

Puppy xenial here 32bit
