when i trying to ran qt-linux-opensource-5.0.2-x86-offline.run I gets below error.

./qt-linux-opensource-5.0.2-x86-offline.run: error while loading shared libraries: libSM.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have installed Qt before but I didn't get any error. I think the cause should below command

sudo apt-get autoremove

I ran this command to my newly installed ubuntu. I found this article online

http://docs.alfresco.com/5.0/concepts/install-lolibfiles.html

so I ran below command

sudo apt-get install libice6 libsm6 libxt6 libxrender1 libfontconfig1 libcups2

but terminal says its already installed

libsm6 is already the newest version

can anyone tell me a way to install qt creater

  • libSM.so.6 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSM.so.6

libSM.so.6 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSM.so.6

The program requires 32-bit libraries. You need libsm6:i386

sudo apt-get install libsm6:i386

And now, ldconfig -p | grep libSM.so.6 should look like this:

libSM.so.6 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSM.so.6
libSM.so.6 (libc6) => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libSM.so.6

And for all other missing libraries use the same strategy:

e.g. libXrender.so.1

$ apt-file search libXrender.so.1
libxrender1: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXrender.so.1
libxrender1: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXrender.so.1.3.0
libxrender1-dbg: /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXrender.so.1.3.0

$ sudo apt-get install libxrender1:i386

  • I saw it later :) I found about this command sudo apt-get install qtcreator It installed the qtcreator but I'm worried because terminal said size is 100 MB or something but offline installer 465 MB. What is different between them?

  • @MenukaIshan I can not answer satisfactorily you. Without the right to look at, I can only guess.
