Answer 1

Please download this packages:

sudo apt-get install "^libxcb.*" libx11-xcb-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libxrender-dev

You can check why it don't work by using:

export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1

and make run your app in terminal

if it dosen't work try

locate libxcb.so.1

and write this path in

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/**MY_PATH**:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
