ANN: eric 23.5 released

[Mick Sulley]

Hi Detlev,

I just installed the new release on Mint using the script on the web 
page but it won't start. This is what I see in a terminal

mick at DeskMint21:~/eric_env/bin$ ./eric7_ide qt.qpa.plugin: Could not 
load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. This 
application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be 
initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. 
Available platform plugins are: vkkhrdisplay, linuxfb, minimalegl, 
offscreen, wayland-egl, vnc, wayland, minimal, eglfs, xcb. Aborted (core 
dumped) mick at DeskMint21:~/eric_env/bin$

Have I missed something?

Thanks

Mick
