QT error while trying to run the project under Ubuntu

[anchnk]

I want to give a try to gonvim but I can't get it to run.

I downloaded the release 0.3.3, extracted the archive and run ./gonvim in my terminal but I got the following error:

./gonvim: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.11' not found (required by ./gonvim)

System informations:

• OS: Ubuntu 18.04
• Kernel: 4.15.0-46-generic

Is installing https://github.com/therecipe/qt a requirement to get the application to run ?

Hi,

Ummm, the library found under the Gonvim-0.3.3-linux/lib/.
Could you avoid errors by passing a path, setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or creating SYMLINK?

I tried the following

› export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./lib && ./gonvim

And got this error:

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in ""
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

And a very long stack trace I could paste if that can be of any use

Try the following 🙂

apt-get install libqt5x11extras5

Thank you very much for the support and the suggestion.

It happens that libqt5x11extras5 is already installed on my system.

libqt5x11extras5 is already the newest version (5.9.5-0ubuntu1).

Are you execure /path/to/Gonvim-0.3.3-linux/gonvim ?
Try /path/to/Gonvim-0.3.3-linux/gonvim.sh

Oh yeah it works now !
Thank you very much :)
