Centos 6.8 Qt issue

[eephillip]

Version 2.6 works, but upgrading past that I get the following error.
Using the system python 2.6.6
PyQt4.x86_64 4.6.2-9.el6 @base
PyQt4-devel.x86_64 4.6.2-9.el6 @base

this might be as simple as updating our vendored copy of qtpy.

Is that something I could patch just to try it out?

[davvid]

A quick workaround is to remove QGlyphRun, from that file. We don't use that symbol so we don't need it there.

The long-term solution is to report this problem at https://github.com/spyder-ide/qtpy

I tested this on PyQt4 4.6 with the latest qtpy and it has this same problem.

Another alternative is to build a newer PyQt from source. PyQt 4.9 should work with that vintage. I didn't realize that we may have silently updated our pyqt requirements when we moved to qtpy so I'll probably be patching this into our copy soon.

Just pulled in merge spyder-ide/qtpy#106 into v2.10. Working great, thanks for supporting.
