Hi Brenton,

Any idea which one I should be looking for? Looks like I have 31 Qt5
libs installed:

bob at vici:~$ cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
bob at vici:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$ find . -type f | grep libQt5 | wc
      31      31     719

(I _think_ they all came from:
bob at vici:~$ sudo apt-get install qt5-default )

cheers,

Bob Edwards.
