segmentation fault when starting pycontact

[jsarlouh]

We are trying to get pycontact running on RHEL 6. I installed the anaconda python 2.7. I built Qt 5.10.1 and then built PyQt-5.10.1. After that I did pip install pycontact, which installed some new python packages including MDAnalysis version 15.0.

When I type the command pycontact and get Segmentation fault right away. Not sure what I need to do differently or how to troubleshoot this one.

Thanks.

This is indeed difficult to troubleshoot...

I would start from scratch with a clean anaconda python 2.7 and install PyQt as provided by
anaconda (conda install pyqt). Then, download the newest version of PyContact from the develop
branch and do

python2 setup.py build -i and python2 setup.py install.

I hope this helps...

Yesterday, I built some older versions of Qt and PyQt5 (5.6.x instead of 5.10.x) and we are now able to start up the GUI. Jeff
