    Hi,

    Might be a silly question but are you sure you are building your application in 64bit ?

      Hi @SGaist, thanks for the reply first.
      I don't think your question is silly - I was also thinking about that when I saw the paths where ld was searching the lib, but ...
      I uninstalled NVIDIA driver, screen resolution on my notebook is ugly now, but chip example is compiled and linked without any errors! And when I run the chip example OpenGL is supported!
      As far as I understand, installation of NVIDIA video card driver breaks ... something in ... somewhere :) But I have no idea what and where, and how to fix it :(
      Maybe you know the way how to tell Qt to use NVIDIA driver, or OpenGL lib, or ... something to fix the problem?
      Thanks in advance for answering.

          I install NVIDIA driver by compiling it - I must have kernel-headers and kernel-devel packages installed. Installation is done by root on level 3 - X is not running. I installed NVIDIA driver before Qt installation.

            What about the associated OpenGL libraries ?

                  The problem is solved - I install NVIDIA the latest driver (version: 390.67 release Date: 2018.6.5) in this way: http://www.advancedclustering.com/act_kb/installing-nvidia-drivers-rhel-centos-7/.

                    I download shell script from NVIDIA and started it in terminal.
