XnView MP installation on Fedora 31

[rob1grie]

I've been trying for days to get XnView MP installed on Fedora 31, including suggestions from several different threads on this and other forums, but can't get past the failing dependencies. Here's the sequence I went through:

1 - Downloaded the RPM from https://download.xnview.com/XnViewMP-linux.x86_64.rpm
2 - Tried the command 'sudo dnf install XnViewMP-linux.x86_64.rpm'
3 - I get:

Error:
Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides libQt5Core.so.5(Qt_5_PRIVATE_API)(64bit) needed by xnview-0.96.2-2.x86_64
- nothing provides libQt5Gui.so.5(Qt_5_PRIVATE_API)(64bit) needed by xnview-0.96.2-2.x86_64

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

4 - So I tried finding the QT_5_PRIVATE_API package, found one at https://pkgs.org/download/libQt5Gui.so. ... PI)(64bit)
5 - Downloaded http://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributio ... x86_64.rpm, tried to install it with dnf, got:

Error:

- nothing provides rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) needed by libqt5-gui-5.12.8-alt4.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

I have a feeling I'm going to be chasing dependencies to kingdom come, and I can't believe there's not an easier way!
Any help at all would be appreciated.

Hmph ... nevermind. This was the solution: viewtopic.php?f=82&t=39973&p=160708&hil ... PI#p160832

Just installed Fedora 31 on another computer and still fighting the dependencies battle. The solution at viewtopic.php?f=82&t=39973&p=160708&hil ... PI#p160832 didn't work this time. I downloaded the 0.96.3 TGZ 64-bit, extracted it to a directory in my home, then followed the steps outlined in that solution, but I get an error loading libopenal.so.1.

I've also tried downloading the RPM file from the link in my original post, but get all the same errors listed in that post.

One other thing I noticed is, looking at the XnView/lib directory, I see a broken symlink lib/libqgsttools_p.so -> libqgsttools_p.so.1.0.0, not sure if that's relevant or not.

If anyone has help to offer, I'd very much appreciate it!

in a terminal, set export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1, and execute XnView, what do you see?

Wow, so sorry I wasn't monitoring my post!
That was now 2 weeks ago, and now after having to rebulid my Fedora machine I get this when I try to run xnvew.sh:

error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I don't even have QT installed, so I'm sure I have a bit of work. Just wanted to update my post.

Thanks for the help, I'll certainly update this post when I get there.
