Problem installing Qt Online Installer for Linux 32-bit on Ubuntu

Try the offline installer, then.

I would suggest building from source, but I don't want to put that burden on you yet, when we still have other options.

Same error:

What happens if you run it from the GUI (click/ double click)?

Nothing happens when I double click on it.

This is bad. I'll ask on the mailing list, maybe there are some known solutions.

Hi,

Is your machine 64 bit ?

please show us:
uname -a

and:
ldd /Downloads/qt-linux-opensource-5.1.1-x86-offline.run

Maybe there is a missing dependency to start the installer UI.
a possible fix is:
sudo aptitude build-dep libqt4-opengl-dev

and yes if you have a 64bit system you need a 64bit installer.

PS: Please check that my possible fixing command does the right thing for you, I am not working on linux daily.

Yes, it is a 64 bit machine.

sudo aptitude build-dep libqt4-opengl-dev seems to run fine but the problem remains the same...

The 64bit installer seems to work. It is currently running. Is it not possible to use and build 32 bit on a 64 bit machine like it is possible on windows?

As Thiago mentions in the ML, you may be missing the ia32-libs package.

Running 32 bit applications on a 64 bit Linux system is possible.
