Speaking of issues building Sigil 0.9.0 from source on Debian (Jessie):

I built Sigil 0.9.0 from source following https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil...dingOnLinux.md (using the Release ZIP, not cloning from GitHub), and the cmake -> make -> make install completed without a problem.

When I launch the compiled sigil executable I get a dialog saying "error in xmlprocessor repairXML" (which I believe comes from: https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil...ource.cpp#L103 ). It seems a problem running Python and/or BeautifulSoup.

So I tried:

1. setting explicitly the CMAKE options for Python paths (since my default Python is 2.7, albeit CMAKE picked Python 3.4 correctly at the first try)

2. building in a virtualenv with Python 3.4 only

3. installing into a local, unprivileged directory instead of the default /usr/... privileged directory

but in all cases I get the same error.

BeautifulSoup (and all the other suggested Python modules) are installed and available for Python 3.4, I tried importing them one by one and they work in the Python interpreter.

The only difference w.r.t. the guide is that I am using Qt5.5.1, installed in /opt/ using the graphical installer.

Any ideas?
