OpenSCAD snap version throws error "libQt5Gamepad.so.5: cannot open shared object file" on import, works with AppImage version

[46cv8]

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 and I just installed the latest version of FreeCAD via snap.
When I attempt to import a simple scad file containing only a cube I get the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/snap/freecad/161/usr/Mod/OpenSCAD/importCSG.py", line 124, in open
    tmpfile = callopenscad(filename)
  File "/snap/freecad/161/usr/Mod/OpenSCAD/OpenSCADUtils.py", line 212, in callopenscad
    check_output2([osfilename, '-o', outputfilename, inputfilename])
  File "/snap/freecad/161/usr/Mod/OpenSCAD/OpenSCADUtils.py", line 182, in check_output2
    raise OpenSCADError('%s %s\n' % (stdoutd.strip(),stderrd.strip()))
<class 'OpenSCADUtils.OpenSCADError'>: ' /snap/freecad/161/usr/bin/openscad: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Gamepad.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory\n'

This is working on the AppImage version (albeit it was getting a different error until I applied the patch mentioned in FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Bundle#107) I mentioned the snap version seemed broken with a different error and they asked I open an issue here.

Thank you. I'll look into it.

libqt5gamepad5 is not available any more in the neon archives for 5.15.3. We'll have to wait for the extension to update to Qt 5.15.5.

@ppd thanks for looking into it, feel free to close the issue or do whatever you want with this, I am happily using the AppImage version for now.

@sophana AppImage reports go to https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Bundle/issues

@sophana can you check the latest v0.21 Snap ?

[LinuxMaster393]

I just encountered this error myself when running v0.21.1 on Ubuntu 22.04 installed from Snap. However, OpenSCAD installed from either Snap or apt doesn't have this error.

I have this issue running v0.21.2 installed via snap on Ubuntu 23.10.
