[Solved] Cant launch Qt apps

I'm trying to launch an app that uses Qt (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … qmapshack/).
When launching nothing happens. Using

journalctl | grep qmapshack

gives

Searching online gives a solution to the problem (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/361 … y#36195503)

ssue happens because you have Qt installed in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu from distro which ld will use by default. To avoid such issues you can compile with -rpath or run with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/your/Qt/libs/location to help linker find needed Qt version.

And thats where i'm stuck. Do I need to compile Qt? Or can I change/copy the Qt location somehow?

uname -a
Linux archlap 4.11.3-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun May 28 10:40:17 CEST 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux

/edit
check if qt is installed

pacman -Q | grep qt
qt5-base 5.8.0-12
qt5-declarative 5.9.0-1
qt5-location 5.9.0-1
qt5-multimedia 5.9.0-1
qt5-script 5.9.0-1
qt5-sensors 5.9.0-1
qt5-serialport 5.9.0-1
qt5-webchannel 5.9.0-1
qt5-webkit 5.9.0-1
qt5-x11extras 5.8.0-1
qt5-xmlpatterns 5.9.0-1

A simple pacman -Syu fixed it :headbump
