QCAD.org Forum

Hi every one,
I'm using on laptop Linux Mageia 5 64bits and QCAD community version 3.
QCAD is running fine except that I can't load the library. If I configure the path for library, when opening QCAD instance I get the following message:

Plugin LibraryBrowser: cannot connect to DB.
Driver error: Driver not loaded
Database error: Driver not loaded
Database file:
Library browser will not be available

I install also QCAD on my desktop Linux Mageia 32bits and QCAD community version 3. I have the same problem.

Is it a limitation of the community edition or a configuration problem ?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello bmormede and welcome here to the QCAD forum

The library browser should work fine in the community edition, could it be that you need to set permissions?

Thank you Clive pour your answer.
I thought also it could be a problem of permission to access the related forders.

The qcad folder is located /usr/share/qcad
and the libraries, plugins, etc in this folder.
I set permissions of qcad folder to 777 to try again

The conf file is located in ~/.config/QCAD/qcad3.conf

With permissions set to 777 -R to qcad folder, it still doesn't work.

The error indicates the the data base driver could not be loaded. That's the file plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlite.so in your QCAD installation directory. This file should be made executable and readable by all.

Hi Andrew,
Thx for your reply.
The folder plugins/sqldrivers was empty. I guess there was a problem with the qcad.rpm package from Mageia dist.
I reinstall Qcad from the source code and it's fine and working well.

Thx a lot for your help.
