This is great. I don't care how I install Leo, I just want to install it. I
was using the Debian approach simply because that is my usual way to
install programs.
Your method is great. So far I seem to have installed QT5 (tools only) and
installed Leo smoothly but I am running into a Qt5 problem. I have never
dealt with Qt before so I have no idea if I mucked up the installation or
what. By only installing the "Default" that is * tools* did I miss
something? Qt Creator loaded so I was assuming a successful installation.
I google AssertionError but did not see anything that looked relevant to an
amateur like me.
Any suggestions?
