Qt error after installing new wesion

Anki Help

I’m on Linux Mint 13.8
After uninstalling old version (used software manager, clicked Remove) and installing new version (downloaded the file, ran sudo make install) I get the following error:

Qt info: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. 
Qt fatal: This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, webgl, xcb.
 
Aborted

I tried: sudo make uninstall then sudo make install
I tried: sudo apt install xcb

thanks in advance for help!

I once had the same issue on Fedora and, if I remember correctly, I solved it by installing the following packages: libxcb, libxcb-devel

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately no luck on mint, I got:

E: Unable to locate package libxcb
4

Try sudo apt-get install libx11-xcb1

That lib installed, but after sudo make uninstall followed by sudo make install, I’m getting the same error.

thanks everyone. Turns out I can’t use the newest version with Linux Mint 18.3, so I upgraded to Manjaro. thanks!
