Hello Detlev Macports creates the following symlink /opt/local/bin/designer -> /Applications/MacPorts/Qt4/Designer.app/Contents/MacOS/Designer and when I saw Eric4 pointing the Qt4 directory to /opt/local/bin I thought it was correct. I adjusted the Qt4 directory in Eric4 preferences to /Applications/MacPorts/Qt4 and now I can launch designer from within Eric4.
Thanks for your help. -Srini On Sun, Apr 21, 2013 at 1:19 PM, Detlev Offenbach <det...@die-offenbachs.de>wrote: > ** > > Hello, > > > > it is probably caused by the way eric searches for the Qt tools.
