<p>Hi Detlev,</p>
<p>I installed that and it runs now. It reports an error when it starts, details attached, but it appears to be working OK.</p>
<p>Many thanks</p>

<p>Hi Mick,</p>
<p>you need to install the 'libxcb-cursor0' system package using your package manager. I think, Qt 6.5.0 introduced this additional dependency.</p>
<p>Note to all: This or something similar might be necessary on ther Linux systems as well.</p>
<p>Regards,
Detlev

<p>Hi Detlev, </p>
<p>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 </p>
<p>mick@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)

<p>Have I missed something?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Mick</p>
