Unable to Install "standalone Qt installers beyond v 5.9.9
-
When trying to install higher versions of Qt (e.g. 14.2, 12.8) using this command
./qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.12.8.runI get this error message
./qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.12.8.run: error while loading shared libraries: libxkbcommon-x11.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryI'm confused - why does the standalone installer require a library?

It's using xkb (keyboard handling library for X11 server), without it Qt (which Qt installer is written in) cannot handle your keyboard :-)

Hi and welcome to devnet,
What Linux distribution are you using ?
The error message means that you are missing the libxkbcommon library which shall be provided on all the Linux distribution supported starting with Qt 5.12.4 IIRC.
