Cannot run Qt Online Installer on Red Hat UBI 9, libxkbcommon-x11.so.0 missing

ZergedU

Hey all,

I'm attempting install Qt on a Red Hat UBI 9 docker container without user interaction. Running the Qt online installer gives an error about missing the shared library "libxkbcommon-x11.so.0".

Error:

./qt-online-installer-linux-x64-4.10.0.run: error while loading shared libraries: libxkbcommon-x11.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I haven't been able to find this library anywhere on Red Hat 9 unfortunately. I'm able to install "libxkbcommon" using dnf, but that doesn't fix it sadly. Does anyone know how I can get "libxkbcommon-x11.so.0"? The package "libxkbcommon-x11" is not found by dnf.

I've tried installing the following using dnf, but no luck yet. Dockerfile is below

FROM redhat/ubi9
USER root

# Install development tools
RUN dnf update && dnf install -y libxkbcommon libxcb gcc gdb cmake

# Download Qt online installer
RUN curl -O https://qt.mirror.constant.com/archive/online_installers/4.10/qt-online-installer-linux-x64-4.10.0.run
RUN chmod +x qt-online-installer-linux-x64-4.10.0.run

# Run Qt installer
RUN ./qt-online-installer-linux-x64-4.10.0.run

It's in the AppStream repository: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html-single/package_manifest/index#AppStream-repository

That's great! Thank you so much!

It looks like Red Hat UBI 9 strips down the AppStream repo from the RHEL version. Notably, the package "libxkbcommon-x11" is missing. This is why I was unable find install/find it using yum or dnf, even though AppStream is listed under the included repos. Ah well.... what a pain.

Ah... that's a shame. I guess you'll need to resort to a 3rd-party repo then? (Or build it from source)
