Opening pcbnew from kicad: ImportError: No module named pcbnew

 

Hi, There!

I am running kicad-latest for testing purposes in my home directory:
~/SW/usr/local/bin/kicad
There is also kicad-4.0.1 in /usr/bin/kicad.


To test the latest stuff from you, I

1. open kicad-latest from a terminal/console: 
[admin@black bin]$ pwd
/home/admin/SW/usr/local/bin
[admin@black bin]$ ./kicad

2. start pcbnew via hotkey or by clicking the button.

Then, I get the complain:
[admin@black bin]$ ./kicad 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 3, in <module>
ImportError: No module named pcbnew


What's the best way to test kicad-latest not interfering with the distro's
installation?

Greets,

Clemens (CKO)
