@unix9999 what flavor of 64-bit linux are you using? What version of Python? Did you install Python's shared library?

[unix9999]

Thanks for the reply. I am using a Ubuntu 16.04; python 2.7.14; not sure about shared library. My q is running normally.

@unix9999 Make sure you following installation guide on Ubuntu for Python 2.7. For PyQ to work you need to install few additional packages on Ubuntu, due to the way they provide Python.

[unix9999]

It seems to work now. But is there a way to permanently set QHOME path?

[sashkab]

Yes, you can add following line to the end of into your $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/activate script.

export QHOME=/path/to/your/qhome
