Hi Peter,
Thanks for your reply.
I removed the install directory and the user directories as you stated. I downloaded Fritzing again and unzipped it in /home/erik/fritzing-0.94.
I started the app by running ./Fritzing in this directory and I got the same errors as stated in my reply to my first post. I did not get the error about the libQt5SerialPort.so.5 library because I installed this library manually with “sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install libqt5serialport5”
Also database regeneration did not work. I get the error “Database failure”.
I did not know that Fritzing died in 2016 an development was just restarted a few months ago. I have not used it for a couple of years. Sorry for my harsh words in my first post. It was just an expression of frustration due to the fact that I thought it was still buggy as hell after all these years.
When I report the install issues on the github site can I post a link to this thread in order to not retype the problem in Github?
BTW: The website fritzing.org is regularly not reachable. I get cloudflare “Error 522” and “Error 524” messages.
Erik
