The newest Sigil requires Qt6.4.0 or later.

[kevinhendricks]

You need to see if a newer version of Qt is available in your repo. If not, consider using the python module aqtinstall to get a local qt version. The latest is Qt 6.7.2.

You can get more help with building Sigil on Linux in our Sigil user forum on www.mobileread.com (see the link in our ReadMe)

As this is not a bug I am closing it. Our Sigil user forum is the best place to get help.

The build docs do clearly mention Qt6.4 starting with Sigil 2.3.0:
