XnView Software

Hi, I can confirm that the following fixes the issue with 0.95:

cd /XnView/lib

rm libfreetype.so
rm libfreetype.so.6

sudo ln -s /lib64/libbz2.so.1 libbz2.so.1.0 <--- this was required in previous versions as well
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libfreetype.so.6 libfreetype.so.6

Thanks,

Ivan

Hi Pierre,

I'm sorry, but that didn't work.
I've just downloaded the 0.95 (tgz) file again, and XnView doesn't start:

./xnview.sh
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be ...

Reinstalled a few QT packages, deleted XnView completely and "re-installed" it..
Everything works fine now. It will remain a mystery why I was getting the error message.

Hi, what distribution are you using?
Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.

Have you tried to launch the software using xnview.sh?
That script will also use the libs coming with the software.

Ivan

BTW, I tried to reinstall 0.94.3 and 0.94.2, but I get the same error message.
Fedora did get a couple of QT updates lately (one just yesterday), so the issue might have been caused by that.
Just guessing, since everything worked fine until a few weeks ago.

Hi, thank you for the suggestion.

I tried to download that file and tested it, but unfortunately it didn't work (see below).

./XnView-archx64

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in ""

Hi, I upgraded Xnview MP from 0.94.3 to 0.95.

I now get the following error when trying to use the software:

./xnview.sh
Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.

Hi Pierre,

OK, I forgot about xnview.sh and was using the Xnview file directly.
Anyway, xnview.sh worked after I added the following link in the lib folder:

sudo ln -s /lib64/libbz2.so.1 libbz2.so.1.0

Without that Xnview was complaining:

/opt/XnView/XnView: error while loading shared libraries ...

Hi Pierre,

I cannot use the QT libs provided by creating links in /lib64 because those libs already exist.
I cannot remove the packages qt5-qtbase + qt5-common (and their libraries), because they are used by other applications.

If there is way to tell XnView MP to use /opt/XnView/lib instead of ...

Hi, I've just upgraded to Fedora 31.
I initially had an error for a missing library.
After installing that, I started getting the following error:

./XnView
./XnView: /lib64/libQt5Network.so.5: version `Qt_5_PRIVATE_API' not found (required by ./XnView)

That's where I'm currently stuck, also ...

Issue with Fedora 28.. I upgraded from 0.90 to 0.92..

I'm getting the following error:
