Hi,

How did you install Qt ?
What version of OpenSSL do you have installed ?

Qjay

openssl : OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips 26 Jan 2017

offline installer for qt

SGaist

Do you have the same issue if you use your distribution provided Qt ?

Qjay

@sgaist i am not sure how to check it.

mrjj

Hi
try to install qt and see what version it has

yum install qt

check whats installed

yum list qt*

Qjay

hello i have Qt from here : https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.9/5.9.2/

SGaist

Hence our suggestions: use your distribution package manager to install Qt and test that this version is working properly first.

hey i didn't fixed it . i downloaded Qt5.12.4 and then upgraded my openssl lib to 1.1.1b

so i am good now
