Hi List, I'm not sure how many people have a similar case to mine, but I have had difficulty with installing frescobaldi on my system. The latest version depends on python-poppler-qt5, which in turn requires that the -c++11 flag is passed to the c compiler (don't know how to do this running 'python3 setup.py build' on the git version), and also had problems with sip-4.19. Sip upstream has issued a number of patches recently, however, which now makes compile of python-poppler-qt5 work on my system. I wrote a package file to pass the needed flags to the compiler to install sip and python-poppler-qt5 using the regular package manager.
So: if anybody else is having this issue, the patch for sip (for a gentoo Linux system, but should be transferable to other distros) is here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606704#c8 If anybody here is also running gentoo, I can pass along the ebuild for python-poppler-qt5 (though I'll probably submit it to the bug tracker so that it's publicly accessible regardless). Frescobaldi from latest git no longer gives a warning in its display window that I need to install poppler-qt5 to view PDFs. (Now, if I could just figure out that ghostscript bug, so that I could actually *generate* PDFs, I'd be doing much better). Cheers, A
