ERROR: ./Rcount-multireads: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Widgets.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hi,
Trying to use your tool in a conda environment on a Linux server. Running ./Rcount-multireads results in the following error eventhough qt5 is installed:

./Rcount-multireads: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Widgets.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is probably trivial, but how would I grant access to the qt5 libraries, which are located under the following path /software/miniconda3/envs/repeats/lib ?

Hi

I've never tested it with conda myself. I assume that you activated your environment before running ./Rcount-multireads. If that didn't work, you could try adding the path to the system as described here on stackoverflow - the first answer. In this way you can still remove it easily from the system afterwards (you need admin rights though). Otherwise you can just install them system-wide (sudo apt-get install qt5-default). I've never encountered issues with having qt5 installed system-wide.

Best regards,

Marc

Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunately, I do not have admin rights and I am not optimistic that contacting the admin will help much.
