Install Creator from the debian repositories. Most probably it's a version mismatch between binary incompatible versions of said library.

in that case how can i be sure that installed qtcreator is using my specific qt version installed by online installed in location /home/ravi/qt5

?

thanks.

@ravi2k18 You can try starting it with the qtcreator.sh shell script next to qtcreator executable.

@ravi2k18 You can add a new Kit in QtCreator where you select your own Qt.
