libmimerapi.so => not found

[TheFlyingMooseMan]

Ubuntu 20.04
Qt 6.6.0

$ ldd ~/Qt/6.6.0/gcc_64/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlmimer.so |grep 'not found'
	libmimerapi.so => not found
$

Where/how do install this missing library?

Any help/pointers are appreciated!

This lib was forgotten during deployment. If you really need the Mimer SQL plugin then you have to download it by yourself from https://www.mimer.com/ . If you don't need this plugn then you can ignore or remove it.

The actual database client is not distributed by Qt, just the QtSql plugin. It's the same for OCI, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. The client for the Mimer SQL database can be found at https://developer.mimer.com

I was having the same error with missing libmimerapi.so, I tried to install the package from mimer but that also did not work. What eventually ended up making this work was adding the argument:

-exclude-libs=libqsqlmimer

so in total my linuxdepoloyqt command was

linuxdeployqt-continuous-x86_64.AppImage <my binary> -unsupported-allow-new-glibc -qmake=~/Qt/6.6.1/gcc_64/bin/qmake -exclude-libs=libqsqlmimer

and that worked for me. And running my app image in a new vm with no previous libraries removed the error of not being able to connect to sql databases (although I am not sure if that is the same issue you had here)
