Error launching program

[Kayzh3r]

Hi all,

First of all, thanks for your contribution to the community.

When I execute the .desktop file I get the following error: KDEInit could not launch 'qxmledit': Could not open library 'libkdeinit5_qxmledit'. Cannot load library libkdeinit5_qxmledit: (libkdeinit5_qxmledit: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

Kind regards

Hello, what operating system are you using? How QxmlEdit has been installed? Using what package manager? Does it start via command line?

Thank you

[Kayzh3r]

Thanks for your fast answer. I am using Kubuntu 18.04.4 LTS. I have installed QXmlEdit through qmake. I tested the programs creating the project in Qt Creator and the program works perfectly so, I do not know what's happening.

Thanks so much

Also I added to the PATH environment variable the installation path folder of QXmlEdit and also created a .desktop file but the same error... Thanks again.

Hello, could you insert the full program path into the .desktop file? Can you send me the .desktop file you are using?

There is also a snap package for Ubuntu, but it is not maintained by me. bye

Sorry for the delay in answering. The desktop file contains:

.desktop entry for QXmlEdit

[Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=QXmlEdit Exec=/opt/qxmledit/qxmledit %u Version=1.0 GenericName=Simple XML editor and XSD viewer. NoDisplay=false Comment=Edit XML files and view XSD documents. Icon=/opt/qxmledit/qxmledit Hidden=false StartupNotify=true

Path

Terminal=false MimeType=text/xml; Categories=Utility;Qt;Development;TextEditor;

Hello, a possible source of errors can be the location of the shared libraries. If you install from sources try to install them in a system shared folder, like /usr/lib64 or /usr/local/lib.

Otherwise, you can modify the following line in the .desktop file Exec=export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/qxmledit;/opt/qxmledit/qxmledit and protect the /opt/qxmedit folder for unauthorized libraries writing.

[Kayzh3r]

Perfect!!! That's exactly the problem shared libraries. I thought that the first place for searching libraries was the path of the shell file but I was wrong.

protect the /opt/qxmedit folder for unauthorized libraries writing.

/opt/qxmedit is owned by root and only root has got write permissions is this enough?

Again thanks so much for your help.

/opt/qxmedit is owned by root and only root has got write permissions is this enough? I think yes, same of /usr/lib.
