[Qgis-user] SIP problem on startup

[John]

Thanks Noli,

Yes, Ubuntu 10.10

Trunk seems to be working for me, at least I don't get the error
message. Is there a way to test though?

Also, shouldn't I have a menu option: Plugins > Install Plugins? I
only have "Manage Plugins". How do I install new plugins?

Sorry for my ignorance,
john
