Hi Sylwia,

You’re using Linux? I had issues in Ubuntu/Pop\_OS. You could try following the steps that I took and see if they help:

> I now have Slicer building and running without fiddling with LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH. I think the issue was with the Build-qt.sh script. Steps: Install Qt dependencies (for QtWebEngine-specific dependencies I referred to this page [https://wiki.qt.io/QtWebEngine/How\_to\_Try](https://wiki.qt.io/QtWebEngine/How_to_Try) ) Download the Qt-build script as per [https://github.com/jcfr/qt-easy-build/tree/5.10.0#readme](https://github.com/jcfr/qt-easy-build/tree/5.10.0#readme) Open the script in a text editor. Scroll to the configure step near the end of the file (line 365 at time of writing). Change the -no-rp…

Note that I built Qt5 using the qt-easy-build scripts, I did not try to use a system install of Qt.

Thomas
