Hi, thank for quick and kind answer,
If you read out across text, you can see also on Ubuntu 18.4 and Mint 19.1 fail over same way.
try'd install package as I wrote.
No success.Apply'd your suggestion:
****** Mint 17.3

Picking 'qtbase-opensource-src' as source package instead of 'qt5-qmake'

@RRomano001 I use latest Qt and QtCreator on my Ubuntu 18.04 without any issues.
Just use Qt Online Installer as @sierdzio suggested (not packages provided by Ubuntu).
So, did you try the online installer? -
It's been a while since I last used Mint so I may be wrong. But a general recommendation I have is:
- definitely use new Mint version, one based on Ubuntu 16 or newer
- use installer from Qt webpage (https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer)
- do not install as root, install to your home directory instead (for example
/home/username/qt) - if it does not work out of the box (it should) run this in terminal
sudo apt build-dep qt5-qmake- that will pull all necessary dependencies (and some more)
@sierdzio Update:
Linux Mint 17.3.
Removed all version of Qt5downloaded offline installer
qt-linux-opensource-5.0.2-x86_64-offline.run
Some issue at startup but imported project, reconfigured compile project, welcome screen is different from how it was, from other, Example still empty but it compile code.
Thhis platform from now to when solved remain as is.
Example are not so important now, I learned how to manage and I can import from directory where they are.
Valgrind is red as not install'd, I can survive without.

So, did you try the online installer?@jsulm YES, I wrote what was tested, for now I don't wish broke again what is now working also if not at best as it was.
No way to get new version running, I can experiment on fresh images of Mint 19.1 or Ubuntu 18.2.4.
Mint 17.3 has now QtCreator
running. I need a test application to debug hardware, GUI is simple to use, to write than cli, but how hard can be use GUI IDE?
Oh my ....
A development platform is now again running, I use this also if outdated, IT WORK!.
Damn, why spend another day struggling around? Need get in touch and learn in deep how to use, then I can try adventure in configuration or installing issue. For now return develop code and learn about usage.
Thank for assistance, I feel it can be time to prepare a guide than leave sparse suggestion create more confusion than solution.
Try port now my cli graphic app to Qt, I learn't about network, it is now time to graphics draw I tested on first day. -

@RRomano001 You can install Valgrind from Ubuntu repository
@jsulm may be, never touch what is working...
QtCreator and QT5 Installed from offline installer, is a good idea to install Valgrind again?
Answer: definitive yes, it was gone away, no other IDE has in it... done from CLI not GUI.. no question I am more cli than gui from ancestral old old day of terminals... It is now time to choose a good book ( on paper ;) to learn more about.
It can be time to start prepare a good guide on how to troubleshoot issues. (WIP)OpenOcd STM32 now work.
GDB is Ok Valgrind is ok.
FPGA run again...
QTC Outdated version without example it is ok for now.
Thank -
@RRomano001 You can install Valgrind from Ubuntu repository
@jsulm update, old version was 5_2_0 not 5_0_2 as misread by me.
Upgraded to version 5_2_1 everything run smoothly and layout was the last one. Also app run fine controlling external hardware.About white example:
installing as user installation file use Home directory space (unwanted), installing as root use /opt/Qt_xxx where xxx is rev (desired).Installed as root example where whitened, simple inspection revealed right where ok to all files and folder but not example folder. Fixing access right (in my case set to read oly to preserve examples intact produced a good working ide again.
resulted IDE, Version, and running my first network App.One milestone is there bout how to solve install on old version.

You should use Qt online installer instead of offline installer, then you can install any Qt version.
Also, the "About Qt Creator" dialog does not tell you which Qt version you use! It only tells you which Qt version was used to build QtCreator (QtCreator is a Qt application).

@jsulm Right, thank for hint, on package was embedded same Qt version.
Update of works:
Ubuntu 18.02_4
installed as root, revision 5_12_2 work out of the box, right setting. (Ubuntu is not behaving good on my pc)
Linux Mint 19.1:
again as root same revision from offline installer.
Worked out of the box, just some file access right to setup on user home.
Require some tuning to android engine, JDK and other.About online installer, yes this is right but downloading from network for every platform to test is a long task. Using offline is much more faster, if new image has to be reload to HDD is ready. On final release I agree your suggestion.
Thank a lot.

Roberto@RRomano001 Why do you install as root?
You should install in your home directory with you user rights.
Or do you want to share the Qt installation across different user accounts?
