@worldsnexthero It looks like libs in /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/PyQt5 link against libs in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu.
How did you install PyQt5?
Do you have libs like libQt5Widgets.so.5 in /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/PyQt5?

I have libQt5Widgets.so.5 in /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/PyQt5/Qt/lib (not /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/PyQt5)

i installed all my packaged based on this reference
