[SOLVED] Failed to load platform plugin xcb
-
I get the error message below when trying to start my application.
@bq. $ ../DR_install/ext/bin32/drgui
Failed to load platform plugin "xcb". Available platforms are:
linuxfb
minimal
offscreen
xcbAborted@
xcb is listed as an option and I believe I have all xcb dependencies installed, so I don't know why it's not being used.
@$ rpm -qa | grep xcb
libxcb-1.9-3.fc19.x86_64
xcb-util-0.3.9-2.fc19.i686
libxcb-devel-1.9-3.fc19.x86_64

xcb-util-0.3.9-2.fc19.x86_64
libxcb-1.9-3.fc19.i686@I have Qt5.1.0 32-bit on Fedora 19 64-bit. I used the offline installer to install Qt (not with sudo).
It is my own application that I am trying to start, and there are no build errors.I followed "this post":https://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/30708 but it didn't fix my problem.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi,
Are you starting your program from Qt creator ?
If not, are you sure that all dependencies are found ?

Hi SGaist,
Thanks for your reply.
No, sorry, I am not using Qt creator, and I am using cmake, not qmake.
It doesn't look like it can't find anything

Seems right, can you run ldd on Qt's xcb plugin ?

You're welcome !
Since everything is working now, don't forget to update the thread's title to solved so other forum users may know a solution has been found :)

@jarvis there's no need to post the same questions on multiple threads especially on one that is 7 years old.

@SGaist My bad, I was trying to troubleshoot this issue referring to the past posts.
