 |
|
Hi everyone,
As per title, I installed Mendeley from Portage and after hours of compiling loads of packages (including some Qt libraries) the application won't start because of some python method complaing about an attribute.
This is what I get when I try to launch it:
| Code: | Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/bin/mendeleydesktop", line 249, in <module>
launch_mendeley_desktop()
File "/bin/mendeleydesktop", line 224, in launch_mendeley_desktop
set_environment()
File "/bin/mendeleydesktop", line 160, in set_environment
if should_use_bundled_libstdc():
File "/bin/mendeleydesktop", line 104, in should_use_bundled_libstdc
if distutils.version.LooseVersion(cpp_runtime_version) < distutils.version.LooseVersion(MINIMUM_CPP_VERSION):
File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/distutils/version.py", line 52, in __lt__
c = self._cmp(other)
File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/distutils/version.py", line 335, in _cmp
if self.version == other.version:
AttributeError: 'LooseVersion' object has no attribute 'version'
|
Has anyone ever experienced this? |

Strange this problem has been resolved with /usr/portage/sci-misc/mendeleydesktop/files/mendeleydesktop-1.17.8-libdir.patch patch, see https://bugs.funtoo.org/browse/FL-3519

| May be a good time to escape to one of the Elsevier-free alternatives? Zotero is available in two overlays FWIW. |

Thank you for pointing me to this, I didn't see it earlier when I was troubleshooting. I've just checked it and it was already there.

I migrated to Gentoo only recently and yes I might consider moving to Zotero, but I'm using Mendeley from other OS for projects and it would be quite difficult to transfer all the library with notes and highlighted document. |
