Chitubox 1.8.1 on archlinux

Installed Chitubox 1.8.1 on Archlinux, I get this when I run it


chitubox-free: symbol lookup error: chitubox-free: undefined symbol: _ZNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEE9_M_createERmm, version Qt_5


When I go back to 1.8.0 beta, it works fine.

    Similar issue here on arch linux, chitubox v1.8.1:

    /opt/chitubox/CHITUBOX: symbol lookup error: /opt/chitubox/plugins/platforms/../../lib/libQt5XcbQpa.so.5: undefined symbol: _ZN22QWindowSystemInterface24setPlatformFiltersEventsEb, version Qt_5_PRIVATE_API

    Still happens in Chitubox 1.9.0 on Debian Linux 11
    `undefined symbol: _ZNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEE9_M_createERmm, version Qt_5`

    Seems it's related to how the Qt libraries get resolved. Putting the `lib` directory into LD_LIBRARY_PATH seems to work around that as the linker will then discover the local libraries first.

    Thank you for the LD_LIBRARY_PATH note, that helped alot.

    I have this issue as well - in most cases: If I run the CHITUBOX AppImage from a GUI application like Files, it works, but it fails if I try to start it from a shell script, and it fails if I try to create a .desktop shortcut.

    Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS / Chitubox 1.9.4
