Can't build anki on Manjaro Linux

Anki Help
1

I tried building anki from the official rep with the following error:

node: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.72: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I can find libicui18n.so.73 but a symlink to *.72 does not work.

Building anki-git works but when I try to run it, I get the following error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt6.QtWebEngineCore'

but PyQt6 is installed

$ pip show PyQt6
Name: PyQt6

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Assuming you mean your distro’s repo, please see Linux Distro Packages - Anki Manual.

If you’re running Anki from a virtual env, PyQt needs to be installed into that venv.

I was not running it from an venv but anki was only looking in .local/user/lib/ instead of also in /usr/lib/.
After manually installing PyQt6-webengine with “pip install --user” it works!
