When I re-installed apps to my n810, I found that Aarddict would install, but it won't run. Here is the error:

Code:

~ $ aarddict



Traceback (most recent call last):

from PyQt4.QtCore import (QObject, Qt, QThread, QTranslator, QLocale,



RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v8.0 but the PyQt4.QtCore module requires API v7.0

Can someone help me figure out how to get Aarddict to run on my n810? Thanks!

Hello!
After reflashing my Nokia N810 a couple of days ago, I decided to give another try with aardict (the version I had before did not work with the new aar-html files)

So I installed, found your problem and I hope you can solve it the way I did:

You need to have root access to your filesystem http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/rootsh/
Download and install this piece of software if you hadn't done this before

On your PC!! Visit http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...4.10.5-maemo0/ Save the file (this one has SIP v7.0) and open it with archive manager of your choice. Inside this archive you will find "data.tar.gz" Open this one also and browse into "/./usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/" and extract the file called "sip.so" to your Desktop for example.

Plug in your nokia and copy this file to a folder you must remember e.g. /media/mmc1/

Open a x-terminal on Nokia N810 ;

Code:

~ $ root

After this command you should see

~ #

instead of

Quote:

~ $

then make a backup of your original sip.so file

Code:

mv /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sip.so /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bk-sip.so

copy old sip.so to the same location

Code:

mv /media/mmc1/sip.so /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sip.so exit

Replace with the path were you saved your file, if different from this one

And you should be done

Run aardict and hopefully enjoy!

If it works (and I hope it does, because this is my first post) please mark it as Solved!

I did all these steps using my PC and ssh-server on my NIT. You can do it easier just by moving files around with a card reader or by plugging in your NIT to your PC
