Installing QtVCP

Thanks Phil

I get the feeling I am so close.

ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 6058, errno = 32

I did a restart (when in doubt, pull the plug out and it seems to fire up with all of the linuxcnc bits

The following messages when starting from terminal:

rob@RobsCNC:~$ designer -qt=5

I seem to recall Chris mentioning this somewhere recently but I cannot seem to find it, hopefully he will chime in.

EDIT: I found the issue: github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/issues/1067

tool_mmap_user(): file open fail: No such file or directory
tool_mmap_user(): no mmap file,continuing

This printout is expected now - This is not an actual error.

Script has been updated with some files required for other distributions and should now work for both python2 and python3 installations.

I can confirm that there is no qt5.11 folder within /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/qtvcp/designer/x86_64/

This is also fixed and now available on buildbot installs.
