[SOLVED] Jami-qt (jami messenger) not opening

Jami-qt starts minimized but nothing happens when clicking on 'show jami'

’jami-qt --debug' throws:

QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/src/app/MainApplicationWindow.qml:108:5: Type DaemonReconnectPopup unavailable
qrc:/src/app/commoncomponents/DaemonReconnectPopup.qml:26:1: Type BaseModalDialog unavailable
qrc:/src/app/commoncomponents/BaseModalDialog.qml:109:5: Type DropShadow unavailable
qrc:/qt-project.org/imports/Qt5Compat/GraphicalEffects/DropShadow.qml:6:1: The library /usr/lib/qt6/qml/Qt5Compat/GraphicalEffects/private/libqtgraphicaleffectsprivateplugin.so cannot be loaded: (libQt6ShaderTools.so.6: Cannot open shared-object file: File or directory not found)

any hint would be appreciated

installing qt6-shadertools was the solution! thanks @arojas
though qt6-shadertools should be a dependency of jami-qt
