Make sure you have the Qt designer. I have no idea though, what's typical Qt installation @ MacOS, but probably it could be found in Apps menu somewhere, or run from terminal.

If it's installed, I think you should find out where are main Qt directories on your filesystems, then run Eric from terminal and experiment with Qt paths in Eric Preferences. With any luck, you probably will see something like '/usr/qt-4/ not found' in stdout and figure out pre- and postfixes you need.

Season's Greetings to all!

I have recently installed Qt 4.4.3, PyQt 4.4.4, sip 4.7.9, QScintilla 2.3.2 and eric4 4.2.4a. I'm using ActiveState's Python 2.6.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.6.

I'm following the eric4 tutorial and have reached the part where I want to run QtDesigner from within eric4, but I get the message "Could not start Qt-Designer. Ensure that it is available as designer." I have gone to Preferences->Qt but I don't understand what I should put in the "Qt4-Prefix" and "Qt4-Postfix" fields.



Thanks for your suggestion (and thanks to Detlev for his reply).

The QT designer application is installed as /Developer/Applications/Qt/ Designer.app on Mac OS X. Designer.app is a Mac OS X 'package' (a folder, really). Inside the package is an executable called Designer. I have created a hard link to it in ~/bin called designer (lower-case 'd') and now eric4 can find it OK. It would be nice to be able to configure eric4 to find the installed executable, though.
