libprs500 linux install error

[europas_ice]

Hey, can anyone help me with this install error? I'm trying to install on FreeBSD (linux-like). Something is wrong about udev? I don't have any directory /etc/udev on my system. Am I missing something that needs to be installed or running?

The error is:

And if I just try to run libprs500 despite the error I get:

You can ignore the installation error. The error you get while running it is because you haven't installed PyQt

Okay, I'm working on that now. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks.

I keep meaning to put it into a freebsd port, just haven't had time yet (I maintain a few others so it shouldn't be too hard!)

Now I get this error:

A freebsd port would be GREAT!

That error message also indicates an incomplete install of PyQt.

simond, would you happen to have a list of the freebsd ports I need installed to get this to run? Maybe I'm installing the wrong ones. So many have "py" and "qt" in the names. I've tried installing the more basic looking ones, but it's clearly not working. I've got:

That's part of the problem, I've not had a chance to even get it working yet, I have the drawback of a 3 month old son who takes most of my non work time
