QT 6.8.1 QPA plugin version mismatch

[Rukshan Perera]

I am trying to run a qt application I built. I am getting warning about missing qpa plugins. Then I installed qt6-qpa-plugins via apt get. Then used

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt6/plugins

But I am seeing

qt.core.plugin.factoryloader: Ignoring QPA plugin due to mismatching Qt versions 395264 393728

When I tried to build qt6.8.1 locally I also get an error

src/plugins/hardwareintegration/compositor/hardwarelayer/vsp2/main.cpp:12:1: error: Parse error at "IID"
make: *** [Makefile:26592: main.moc] Error 1

I also added the same question to stackoverflow. Any idea how to approach this problem?
I am using.

You can see the 2 versions in the error message "...due to mismatching Qt versions 395264 393728"
Converted to hexadecimal they decode as 6.8.x and 6.2.x

You are mixing Qt versions, probably the default Qt 5.15.x installed system-wide in Ubuntu 22.04 and a Qt version installed locally using the online installer (6.x, but we can only guess).

Okay thanks. I think I have installed 6.2.x via sudo apt install qt6-qpa-plugins. I guess I need to find 6.8.x version

How did you install it?
