I've just downloaded and installed the latest version of Electrum from source on Ubuntu 15.10. During the steps to get things setup, I got no errors at all and everything seems to have gone well. Electrum was installed in /usr/local/bin

When I start Electrum from the terminal, I get the following errors and Electrum does not start.

anthony@Third-Earth:~/.electrum$ /usr/local/bin/electrum
Error: Cannot read config file. /home/anthony/.electrum

Can anyone give me a clue as to what I'm missing or what might not be working?

Thanks!

Note the Error....

Code:
Error: Could not import icons_rc.py, please generate it with: 'pyrcc4 icons.qrc -o gui/qt/icons_rc.py'

So just do...

Code:
pyrcc4 icons.qrc -o gui/qt/icons_rc.py
