You need the python-qt4 package installed too (it's in ubuntu repository)
I think we forgot to list it in the freecad package dependency... Sorry, I always forget something!
I think after that, finally, you'll be able to run freecad without anymore error...

Re: Using pivy
Hoi Yorik
After installing python-qt4 FreeCad runs fine.
Thank you once again for pointing me in the right direction.
Just a thought:
Regarding the installation procedure, I always assume that all packages are already installed
or that they come with the installation of a new program. But apparently Ubuntu is known for
its limited packages that are installed, isnot it?
So maybe Ubuntu is to blame for not installing such packages, although I hate to say that.

Re: Using pivy
Hi Kees
Glad that it finally worked.
No, the fault is not of ubuntu, normally when you make a deb package you specify what other packages yours depends on, so the pckage manager can download and install all that is needed. In our case, the pivy package doesn't exist neither in debian nor ubuntu, so we had to make one ourselves. And the python-qt4 exists, but we forgot to mark it as required in our freecad packages. I'll do that so next versions will be okay.
