more packages needed

The check.py script should also check for the following:

• python-qt5
• pyopengl

And I had to re-install PyQt4.

At least these are the ones I had to install on top of the ones listed by check.py.
I am using Python 2.7.5

You're right, thanks. check.py hasn't changed since we added the new gui (PyQT + OpenGL)
I've added checks for the two to check.py

[jooste]

Can you tell me a bit more about why you had to reinstall PyQt4? And are you using PyQt4 and PyQt5 simultaneously?

Thanks!

after I installed PyQt5 I got the following (or at least this is the earliest I find in my terminal):

$ python BlueSky.py

     74160 waypoints read.

    self.polyprev.set_vertex_count(0)
AttributeError: 'RadarWidget' object has no attribute 'polyprev'

BlueSky normal end.

Then after installing PyQt4 and re-running the error disappeared...
I do not know how much reproducible this is...maybe it can be proved with a clean machine.

Ok, what happened there is that the radarwidget is getting mouse events before it is initialized. This might be a machine-specific thing because it never happened on the machines I've tested it on (both Qt4 and Qt5). I've patched the BlueSky gui event handler to check if radarwidget is initialized before sending it such events. This should (hopefully) fix your bug with Qt5.
