Trouble starting Electrum on Debian Linux

[TentacleMan]

Hi!

I've used Electrum before without problems but when I try to install it now on my Debian-based system I get some errors I have trouble making sense of.

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/electrum", line 4, in <module>
    __import__('pkg_resources').run_script('Electrum==2.4', 'electrum')

    tlslite.utils.cryptomath.pycryptoLoaded = False
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'utils'

Any ideas about how to fix this?

what is the version of tlslite installed on your system?

what is the version of tlslite installed on your system?

I'm still on wheezy (because my favorite distro Crunchbang shut down development) so it's the one in oldstable, version 0.3.8-2. Will switch to something else "real soon now".

It works now, uninstalled the tlslite package that comes with wheezy and got a hold of the latest version from Github. Btw there is an error in the installation instructions for the development version on electrum . org.

Code:

pyrcc4 icons.qrc -o gui/icons_rc.py

should be

Code:

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

Thanks for setting me on the right track
