RQT error with pyside

Question

I am trying to use rqt_graph in ROS kinetic and I am getting the following error. I am not sure what is causing it and have no idea how to fix it. It seems to be a problem with an undefined symbole but not sure how this would happen.

 rosrun rqt_graph rqt_graph

Answer 1

From What I can See In The Log Your pyqt and main Qt5 libs are missing And It's Not ROS Based Error

I Suggest You Install Or Reinstall Those Libs and Make Sure That Python Can Find Them

Answer 2

I ran into the same problem. Could you share your method in detail? Thanks very much
