fs-uae-launcher and fs-uae-arcade (dev versions) linux problems [Solved]

Hey Frode,

I got fs-uae to compile and work just fine using the b20 version on your site, but I also compiled it directly from your github source and that is working well. So, thanks!

However, I can't get fs-uae-launcher OR fs-uae-arcade to work. I'll attach the output here. I'm kind of...at a loss. I'm fairly certain I'm using python 2.7. I've never been a python guy so please excuse any silliness on my part. Thanks!

Also:

➜  ~  python --version
Python 2.7.8

I'm running an up-to-date debian sid based build, amd64. Thanks!

If I try launching either of those with python3.4:

➜  ~  python3.4 /usr/local/bin/fs-uae-launcher
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/fs-uae-launcher", line 38, in <module>
    from fsgs.FSGSDirectories import FSGSDirectories
ImportError: No module named 'fsgs'

Nevermind, please disregard.

For those having similar issues, I re-downloaded the fs-uae-launcher and fs-uae-arcade archives (dev versions) from Frode's website. I then installed as normal, with one change. Previously I installed this way:

sudo python setup.py install

However, it appears that the dev versions rely on python 3.3+ (using 3.4 here), so when I installed them this way instead:

sudo python3.4 setup.py install

Everything worked fine after that. I can now run /usr/local/bin/fs-uae-arcade and /usr/local/bin/fs-uae-launcher just perfectly. I needed the following packages (debian sid):
python3-pyqt5.qtopengl, python3-opengl, python3-pyqt5, as well as a base python 3.4 installation as well. Cheers
