Hi Detlev, after upgrading to openSUSE 12.2, eric4 4.5.6, and tidying up the usual fallout (svn upgrade was necessary this time), I suffer from a real strange start up issue of eric4.
In my project Makefiles, I usually use a target like this: edit: @$(ERIC) $(BASENAME).e4p & Now, this takes ages to complete, and keeps a strange "bash -i" instance running in a loop. Investigating that a bit further shows, that I'm not able to start eric from a shell in the background (eric4 &), as that leads to a stopped eric process. Sigkilling that reveals the "bash -i" instance running wild. I seems to happen when eric creates its toolbars. hp@xrated:~> eric4 --debug & [1] 22082 hp@xrated:~> DEBUG:root:Importing Preferences DEBUG:root:Importiere Packages... DEBUG:root:Erzeuge das Hauptfenster... DEBUG:root:Initialisiere Plugin Manager... DEBUG:root:Erzeuge das Hauptfenster... DEBUG:root:Creating Layout... DEBUG:root:Creating Viewmanager... DEBUG:root:Creating toolboxes... If you cannot reproduce this, let me know.
