In the Bitcoin Core instructions, it says that to use the GUI, you have to execute bitcoin-qt
. It gives this explanation for a potential obstacle:
If all the required libraries are installed, Bitcoin Core will start. If a required library is missing, an error message similar to the following message will be displayed:
/usr/local/bin/bitcoin-qt: error while loading shared libraries: libQtGui.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Search your distribution’s package database for the missing file missing and install package containing that file. Then re-run
/usr/local/bin/bitcoin-qt
to see if it’s missing another file. Repeat until Bitcoin Core GUI starts.
I got the same error described, just, with a different result:
/usr/local/bin/bitcoin-qt: error while loading shared libraries: libxcb-xinerama.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I tried:
sudo apt install libxcb-xinerama.so.0
and got:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E:Unable to locate package libxcb-xinerama.so.0
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'libxcb-xinerama.so.0'
Tried:
apt search libxcb-xinerama.so.0
and got:
Sorting... Done
Full Text Search... Done
So, basically I’ve got no clue what to do.
