Unfortunately, this can happen when upgrading a Linux operating system (usually due to new, incompatible system libraries). Older packages of QCAD were compiled for the platforms that were current at that time. QCAD 3.12.8 was released on 2016/02/17.

You can check for missing libraries using ldd (in the QCAD installation directory):

Code: Select all

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ldd ./qcad-bin
If libraries are indeed missing, installing those might also fix the problem.
